Buy Now: ~~$110.00~~ $49.00

Six years on, the 2020 Pinot Noir is still showing those classic Hanzell notes of Bing cherry, pomegranate, cherry tobacco, and forest floor. The palate reflects the nose with compelling notes of blood orange, Bergamot, red plum skin, cranberry and woodsy herbs. We’ve always loved the elegant and lifted texture of this special vintage. With beautifully integrated tannins and long finish, now is no different. Don’t miss this opportunity to add some to your cellar and to your table with friends and family!

This spicy, toasty and powerful wine offers cinnamon and toast aromas followed by concentrated red- and black- cherry flavors wrapped in medium tannins. Handsome and well oaked, it gives a grippy texture. Hanzell's 70-year track record suggests this classic will improve with aging and drink best from 2027-2037. — Jim Gordon

A stylish, mineral-driven version, with a swirl of red tea, savory and sous-bois notes leading off, before a core of damson plum and blood orange opens up. The long, earth- and chalk-tinged ﬁnish ﬂows through with nice cut. Understated and lovely.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Heritage is a very pretty wine. Crushed red berry fruit, dried rose petal, incense, dried flowers and cinnamon all grace this transparent, wonderfully nuanced Pinot Noir. There’s terrific energy and verve here. This is beautifully done. — Antonio Galloni

Classically Hanzell, the 2020 Chardonnay is brimming with lovely notes of Meyer lemon, jasmine, citrus blossom, juicy pear and peach. With hints of hazelnut, the palate offers green and yellow apple, melon, lemon thyme and wet granite. Richly textured, yet elevated and ethereal, the finish is long and generous, making this the perfect pairing for any upcoming celebrations.

93 points | Wine Enthusiast

Very rich, very ripe and powerful, this wine grabs attention from the first whiff of dried grapes and candied lemon peel to the poached pear, butter and toasted almond flavors. Quite full-bodied and extroverted, this will have your guests chatting about it.

— Jim Gordon

92 points | Wine Spectator

Distinctive, with juicy Meyer lemon, yuzu and crisp green apple flavors that are fresh and appealing, plus fragrant floral notes of lemon blossoms, lime zest and lemongrass. Delivers a whiff of nutmeg and hints of chalky minerality, which leave a firm, fresh impact on the finish. — MaryAnn Worobiec

91 points | Vinous

The 2020 Chardonnay is a powerful, savory wine. Dried citrus peel, chamomile, crushed ﬂowers and herbs infuse the 2020 with quite a bit of aromatic nuance. The 2020 is just a touch light and edgy, but that is the vintage. Overall, this is nicely done. — Antonio Galloni

2018 Hanzell Cabernet Sauvignon
Buy Now: ~~$134.00~~ $107.00

Heady aromas of blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry, black licorice and rose petal fill the nose. Echoing the aromas the palate weaves in additional bright notes of Bergamot and cranberry with notes of pencil lead and tar. Absolutely delicious now, this wine will surely show more of itself for many years to come.

93 points | Wine Spectator

This has a bright, pure feel, with loganberry, mulberry and bitter cherry notes mixed liberally with floral, red tea and savory accents. Very focused, with a sleek iron streak through the finish. A wine of precision. Best from 2023 through 2035. 250 cases made. — James Molesworth

2018 Hanzell Chardonnay
Buy Now: ~~$96.00~~ $77.00

Multi-dimensional and complex, the nose elevates pink grapefruit, yellow apple, chamomile and orange blossom. Juicy peach, almond skin and wet granite linger on the palate and carry through a beautifully structured, long finish. With many years ahead of it, this is a wonderful addition to your cellar, yet is also absolutely lovely to enjoy now.

95 points | James Suckling

Beautiful apple and crushed stone with white pepper and lemon curd on the nose. Full-bodied with layers of fruit and creamy, light yogurt undertones to the tangy dried-citrus aftertaste. Rich, lively and complex. Solid and structured. Very drinkable now, but better after 2024 and beyond.

94 points | Wine Enthusiast

Structured and graceful from beginning to end, this white is floral and offers depth and length. From some vines still on St. George rootstock and fermented in both oak and stainless-steel, it retains lively acidity and vibrant layers of salty stone, Meyer lemon and green apple.

94 points | Vinous

Magical, complex wine that really blossoms beautifully with a few hours of air. Layered and deep, with tons of nuance, it remains light on its feet and quite understated. Hints of apricot, tangerine, chamomile and dried flowers slowly open with a bit of coaxing. It's the sort of wine that requires several hours of undivided attention.

93 points | Wine Spectator

Svelte, with minerally snap to the pure-tasting McIntosh apple, Bosc pear and apricot tart flavors. The juicy finish offers hints of buttered toast and light spicy accents.

2010 Hanzell Pinot Noir
Buy Now: ~~$170.00~~ $136.00

The 2010 Pinot Noir is still one of our very favorite vintages. At sixteen years, the nose and palate shine with youthful, bright cranberry, Bing cherry, plum skin, pomegranate and rhubarb. Stunning from start to finish, this wine is just starting to reveal what it will become. Pour a glass now and enjoy or hold to watch it evolve and discover its potential for years to come.

95 points | Prince of Pinot

Moderate reddish-purple hue in the glass. Initially shy, opening slowly even after decanting. Aromas and flavors of dark red cherries and raspberries with hints of spice and savory herbs arrive over time and reach a very flavorful level. Discreetly concentrated with bright acidity and sturdy tannins, finishing with plenty of oak-kissed fruit intensity. Spectacular the following day when tasted from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. I would advise cellaring this wine for a few years to soften and integrate the tannins and allow the fruit to come to the forefront. This will be an exceptionally lovely wine over the long haul. - Rusty Gaffney
