Backward, with a high acid profile, the dark ruby/plum-tinged 2002 Pinot Noir Cahill Lane exhibits black fruits as well as a meaty, autumnal, soil-like character. Sweet plum, pomegranate, and black cherry fruit also emerge from this cuvee. While it possesses considerable soul and character, it is less evolved than its younger siblings. It should drink well for 7-10 years. One of northern California’s “good guys” is undeniably Stephen Hansel, who fashions top-quality Burgundian-styled Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Tom Rochioli first brought these wines to my attention, and Hansel is now one of my reference point visits in the North Coast. Known locally as a major car dealer, Hansel founded the winery in 1978 and now owns over 80 acres under vine. These are all noteworthy cuvees that remain somewhat under the radar. Moreover, prices remain unbelievably fair for wines of such quality. Tel. (707) 525-3614; Fax (707) 528-1310
