Watch as Jose prepares his specialty dish and simply enjoy the music of Steve Pile, sip HANNA Pinot Noir and soak in the sun!   It’s the perfect way to enjoy a beautiful, clear, warm Sonoma County afternoon.

Counting chickens

  Count these Clusters!  Yes,  I know  these chickens are long from being  hatched . The safety of the barn is still 5 months hence, but given providence and due propitiation it will be another great year for Pinot Noir. I will be looking at the other varieties that emerge from dormancy over the next week.

"The Tasting Panel" Interviews Christine Hanna (April 2013 Iss.)

“Catching Up with Christine Hanna” with The Tasting Panel



The Tasting Panel’s April 2013 issue offers an in-depth look at a “Sonoma Vintner and Super Mom [who] Hits Her Stride”, our very own Christine Hanna.



The article explores the growth of HANNA Winery under the business leadership of Chris, who developed our Sauvignon Blanc, as well as expanding HANNA vineyards. Currently, HANNA Winey is in full production at four estate vineyards located in Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley and Mt. Veeder.



Chris now sees the winery as being in “refinement mode”. Hanna comments, “In many ways I have come into my own as a businesswoman and a mother.” This is reflected through her work with our winemakers or developing relationships with distributors. The reward for all this hard work can be found in a bottle of HANNA wine.



HANNA 2012 Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Valley, is described as being “[our] best release ever” with “…lime zest and peach…the edginess is held in check by a jasmine, heather and lilac trio and bundled by incense and spice.” ($19)



HANNA 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, “hypnotizes with a fragrance of spiced cinnamon and dried cherries” and receives an “A-plus for food pairing”. The superb quality of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is achieved through canopy management or picking the grapes earlier, enabling flavor quality and lower alcohol. ($40)



HANNA 2010 Bismark Mountain Vineyard Zinfandel, Mt. Veeder Vineyard, was grown at an elevation of 1,400 to 1,600 feet, the highest elevation vineyard in Sonoma. It is described as not being “jammy or port-like” instead it is “structured, with natural acidity, overt fruit and amazingly juicy.” ($56)

April Wine of the Month...Two Ranch Red!

April Wine Special…Two Ranch Red!  20% for Non Wine Club; 30% for Wine Club

 
Our Two Ranch Red is a beautiful blend of eleven HANNA and Bismark varietals.  It is plum in color with rich aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, carob, Santa Rosa plum and boysenberry.  The rich aroma gives way to flavors reminiscent of sandalwood, Bing cherry, mulberry, sweet oak and roasted quinoa.  This wine is plush, with moderate tannins and  a polished finish.  It is the perfect wine for any occasion, whether it’s a dinner party or weekday pizza night.  Two Ranch Red will be a hit!
