"Outstanding 94" Points
"This elegant and fruit-forward Pinot is both complex and sweetly ripe to the nose, as scents of red cherries, and wild strawberries join subtle smoky tones, some dried orange peel and dark cherry in a pretty aromatic display. The palate-feel is sleek, reinforcing the wines fruit clarity and power. It finishes with a cascade of cherry, rose, red currant, smoke, mineral and spice flavors which linger gracefully." - The Wine Insiders

Our pick for the #1 "best buy" Pinot Noir from the vintage Wine Spectator hailed as "best ever" is the new Walter Hansel Pinot Noir Rodgers Creek Sonoma Coast 2009 - a super luscious and juicy Pinot with silky tannins and a complexity rarely found in any wines under $30. From the prestigious Sonoma Coast ('high rent' district home to $100+ pinots by Marcassin, Hirsch and Pahlmeyer!) this is an incredible wine irrespective of price. Walter Hansel has swiftly become the "insiders" choice among savvy collectors. As Robert Parker commented: "If readers have not yet tasted the wines of Walter Hansel, they are missing some stunning wines." Big news is Porthos has sourced our largest allocation of these coveted gems to date, but that's still only 15 cases we don't expect this to last given the exception quality & value! RSVP now.
