Once again, Stephen Hansel turned out a set of highly attractive wines. The cool growing season of 2019 decidedly favors Chardonnay. A number of the wines are really impressive. The best wines in the lineup offer a combination of Russian River texture and vibrancy that is compelling. Things were a bit more challenging for the Pinots, which are lighter and more translucent than readers are likely to expect. That’s not a bad thing necessarily given the exuberance that comes so naturally here, but a signature of the year in Pinot Noir that readers will want to keep in mind. Overall, the 2019 Pinots are nervy and lack the volume of the very finest years. The North Slope Pinot is especially awkward, at least today.

Once again, Stephen Hansel has turned out a gorgeous set of wines. I consider these to be reference point Pinots and Chardonnays that capture the essence of what the Russian River is all about. In some vintages, the wines can lean towards exuberance, but in 2018, that natural Russian River generosity is tempered by the style of a vintage marked by a cool, long growing season. Hansel's long-standing commitment to making first-class wines and keeping prices exceptionally fair is admirable.
