Ruby with aromas of sweet ripe berry fruits with a touch of oak, grapes grown on sandy loam soil. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with tobacco, oak and earthy notes. Soft tannins, good balance on long finish ending with notes of earth. Fruit and pepper spice. Nice.

Delicious and juicy. The 2018 Hansel South Slope Pinot is a big boy that keeps on giving. A voluptuous Pinot. Really good. Hitting it up with my Coravin.
