2014 HANNA Rose Harvest

Harvest began today, on August 6, 2014! This technique results in both delicious Rose and later- awesome Pinot Noir.



We remove crowded clusters, clusters on short shoots and laggard fruit. Green fruit is left on the ground. The colored fruit contributes finesse to our Rose.



Our Pinot Noir is the penultimate beneficiary of this practice. HANNA customers are the ultimate beneficiary!

HANNA in Russian River Valley

Jolene's Patterson @jolenespatter experience exploring HANNA



My third stop was Hanna Winery’s Russian River Valley tasting room. Hanna maybe better noted for their majestic location in the Alexander Valley, but this tasting room sits amidst Hanna’s original “home ranch” chardonnay and pinot noir vineyards.



Dr. Elias Hanna founded this winery in 1985, but it has been run for the past 20 years by his daughter, Christine. She embodies the Russian River Valley love of wine paired with food and has written “The Winemaker Cooks.” To help you understand this passion, Hanna offers an array of wine and food experiences in both of their tasting rooms.



Christine Hanna with winemaker, Jeff Hinchliffe, are known for their Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, as well as their Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. They make a number of other varietals as well, but are announcing this week the release of their 2012 Hanna Malbec from Alexander Valley which will be a first for them.



Patrick Shockey generously shared with me his 13 years of experience in Hanna’s wines, including his current favorite a 2007 Merlot which is only available to visitors at the winery – another good reason for a road trip! Patrick says to pair this wine with another local favorite Cowgirl Creamery’s Red Hawk cheese. Tasting room hours are daily 10am-4pm

A few notes on our Future wines from our winemaker Jeff Hinchliffe (can you tell he's a creative writer?!):



2012 Hanna Reserve Malbec - anticipated bottling May 2014



Our 2012 Reserve Malbec is aubergine dark, with aromas of afternoon Mulberry and desert air, blueberry pancakes, coal and clove. It bursts with coffee, blueberry, pistachio and caramel flavors. On the palate it is lush, devoid of angularity, deeply concentrated but with puppy soft ears.



76% Malbec, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon



2013 Elias Pinot Noir - anticipated bottling July 2014



Our 2013 Elias Pinot Noir's vibrant aromas of cherry, plum, anise and mocha leap youthfully from the glass. It has flavors of plum blossom and spice with a hint of Tandoori and chocolate. Almost satiny, with just a hint of youthful petulance that will resolve before bottling.



100% Pinot Noir
