Walter Hansel Winery Cuvée Alyce Pinot Noir 2012

Walter Hansel's Cuvee Alyce Pinot Noir. his top cuvee,  is a beautiful, hand-crafted wine from one of our favorite boutique producers down the road from Kistler. Only made 300 cases produced. Limited. 97 Points Robert Parker:  "Another terrific effort is the 2012 Pinot Noir Cuvee Alyce, made from a blend of Dijon clones 115 and 777 culled from the extremely heavy clay soils. Yields were under one ton of fruit per acre. This spectacular 1,100-case cuvee boasts abundant floral notes intermixed with notions of forest floor, raspberries, black cherries, vanillin and assorted spices. Full-bodied, opulently-textured and voluptuous, this sexy, disarming Pinot Noir will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 5-7 years...Combining quality with reasonable prices and estate-grown grapes, you can’t do much better than Stephen Hansel’s Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs."
