Reviews and Ratings

Brent Gushowaty rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Pale with a ruby rim, the slightly shy bouquet is a mix of pomegranate molasses, boysenberry, lilac and other floral notes. The flavour follows through closely as on the nose with the savoury fruit mostly mid-palate. Well balanced and fairly long, delicate and delightful. B- to B ~ 91

Notes:
This pinot noir is all Santa Lucia Highland fruit composed of 55% Smith Vineyard, 30% Doctors Vineyard, 10% Hook Vineyard, 5% Lone Oak Vineyard. It spent 11 months in barrel that was 33% new French oak.

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Aromas of plum, violet, cedar, herbal notes, with hints of cinnamon. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and tart plum, blackberry and field cherry flavours with subtle notes of vanilla. Very nice! Pair with grilled Portobello mushrooms or with an herbed roast.

Tasted at the California Wine Fair in Ottawa April 2019.

Alana L rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Walking a beautiful line between fresh and floral while also having depth and complexity, Hahn S.L.H. 2017 Pinot Noir is a beautiful example of this AVA. Deep ruby in colour, it has ripe red fruit (cherry and raspberry), spice (paprika and pepper), forest floor, mushroom, cedar and brioche on the nose and palate. Round, with well-integrated acidity, smooth tannins,

Would pair beautifully with a ‘Sunday Roast’, grilled mushrooms or smoky carbonara.

California hosts a profound diversity of soils and climates that offer a unique range of expressions for Pinot Noir, one of the most regionally expressive varieties in the world.

Tasted as part of the 'California Wine Month: Expressions of California Pinot Noir’, a panel discussion and tasting that explored the distinctive character of Pinot Noir from the entire length of the state, bringing together some of its most celebrated winemakers to discuss their insights and experience with the variety; moderated by writer and speaker Elaine Chukan Brown and California Wines Canada and featuring panelists Megan Gunderson Paredes, Winemaker, WALT Wines; Greg Morthole, Winemaker, Davis Bynum Rodney Strong Vineyards; Mike Waller, Winemaker, Calera Winery; Paul Clifton, Director of Winemaking and Greg Brewer, Winemaker, Brewer Clifton.

Cheers!
