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
