Antonio Galloni calls Walter Hansel 'some of the most consumer friendly wines readers will come across ANYWHERE in California'. We can't agree more. When tasting this wine blind, we almost always place a higher value on it an then get a pleasant surprise at the true price. This vintage of the Cahill Lane Pinot Noir scored 92 points from Galloni where he notes ripe red cherry raspberry, mint, and floral notes. Only 756 cases produced. | Falling Bright

Crane Vineyard where vines are over 100 years old as well as from sites such as Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford, Milat Vineyard in St. Helena, and other esteemed vineyards considered to be disciples of the character found at Crane. The Zinfandel gives mouthfulls of blue and black fruits, elderberry, blackberry, and lavender. Pleasing umami sensation of wild Porcini plays around the mid palate and a touch of Petite Sirah adds extra flesh and texture as well as a characterisitc dark coco and cinnamon stick.| Falling Bright
