Product Description

"My goal as winemaker is to craft intensely structured, balanced wines expressing their vineyard origin.  I believe the soil, climate and grapes in the Northwest afford the opportunity to make wines that rank among the best in the world.  I have been fortunate in my 25 years as Seven Hills' winemaker to have developed a continuity of vineyard sources, harvesting from the same rows and same vines each year from both our own and our grower partners' sites.  This precious resource allows us to know the nuance and particularities of each vine, and enables us to craft wines reflecting each vineyard's full potential." - Winemaker Notes

Though it may be too soon to share - Hahn SLH Pinot Noir has earned its place at the ShopUncorked.com Thanksgiving Table for 2014!

Product Description

"The 2012 vintage was among the best for Pinot Noir in recent years. Consistent, moderate temperatures before and during harvest ensured that the grapes were able to ripen gradually on the vine. This long, extended growing season produced fruit with incredible intensity.  To make our 2012 SLH Pinot Noir, our winemakers selected fruit from clones that yielded the most expressive aromas and flavors. After the fruit was hand-picked and sorted, it underwent a three-day cold soak in open top fermenters. We then aged this Pinot Noir for 11 months in a selection of French oak barrels. When the wine was ready to be blended, our winemaker Paul Clifton chose the barrels he felt best exemplified the aromas, flavors and structure of the Santa Lucia Highlands." - Winery Notes

Hahn "SLH" Pinot Noir 2012 Tasting Notes

This Pinot Noir offers soft tannins, delicious plum and cherry aromas and flavors, a hint of allspice and an underpinning of the earth itself. Without a doubt, its defining feature is its irresistibly silky, velvety texture.
