Critical Acclaim
93 Vinous
The Walter Hansel 2018 Pinot Noir Cahill Lane Vineyard is another stellar wine in this lineup. Here, too, I very much like the wine's energy and nuance. Ripe red/purplish fruit, blood orange and floral notes are wonderfully vivid. Medium in body and finely cut, the Cahill Lane is so enticing. In 2018, the Cahill Lane has an extra kick of citrus-infused acidity that gives cut and a closing burst of energy that is impossible to miss.
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Cahill Lane is scented by smoked cranberries, tar, and tobacco with nuances of citrus peel and potpourri. The light-bodied palate is silky, layered, and seriously styled with a gentle grip, great freshness and long finish.
