Walter Hansel has become synonymous with great quality at a great price! Year after year these wines seem to impress me and my clientele alike. The first vines were planted in 1978 just a up the block from Kistler! The actual winery did not start till 1996 when they produced 3 barrels of Pinot Noir and 10 barrels of Chardonnay, and the rest as they say, is history! Stephen Hansel (Walter’s son) had one of the best winemakers as his tutor (Tom Rochiolli) so it is no surprise that they are still putting out great wines decades later. Year after this winery has produced amazing “Dollar Cost Average” under priced wines!

Parker 94 Points: “Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Cahill Lane gives up a beautifully earthy nose of truffles, black soil and mossy bark with a core of warm cherries, black raspberries and red plums. Medium to full-bodied, it coats the palate with red berries and plum-inspired layers, framed by fine-grained tannins and great freshness, finishing long and earthy.”
Vinous 94 Points: “The 2016 Pinot Noir Cahill Lane Vineyard is quite closed today, but that is very typical of this wine. There is good depth and persistence but the elements need time to come together. I very much like the sense of energy and drive here.”

Robert Parker 94 Points: “The 2016 Chardonnay Cahill Lane gives up loads of honeyed peaches and ripe apple notes with touches of nutmeg, baking bread and marzipan. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with layer upon layer of bread, nut and stone fruit flavors, supported by bright, refreshing acid and a creamy texture, finishing with fantastic length.”
