2016 WALTER HANSEL "CUVEE ALYCE" PINOT NOIR From Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, "Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Cuvee Alyceleaps from the glass with gregarious black cherries, pomegranate and cranberry notes with touches of red roses, lavender and dried Provence herbs plus a waft of black soil. Medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins and great freshness, it is simply packed with taut fruit and finishes on a lingering mineral note. 896 cases produced." 95 Points
