OF HUNGARY Associated with Royalty for Centuries, It’s the KING OF WINES In 1980 we had big dreams. © 2018 Hahn Family Wines Family © 2018 Hahn Why stop now? Lucienne Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs Long ago, Nicolaus “Nicky” Hahn set his sights on producing wines of distinction from Monterey County. At the time, the eastern slope of the Santa Lucia Mountains was unknown but with its well-drained soils, Pacific winds and fog, and warm summer days, it was a clear bet that Pinot Noir would grow well. Recognizing the area’s unique qualities, Nicky led an effort with other neighbor growers to establish a new appellation and in 1991, Santa Lucia Highlands was born. Now, with our four certified sustainable estate vineyards planted primarily to Pinot Noir, we celebrate Santa Lucia Highlands with carefully crafted, single vineyard selections. Consistently awarded 90+ points, these wines are signature Nicky Hahn. Sometimes, big dreams do come true.

The wine is dry, full-bodied, with an oily texture. There is phenolic bitterness as well. TASTING NOTES BY: F.L.X. TABLE’S MICHALIS KALAMPOUKAS Notes of ripe peach, lemon cream and apple. There is Chamomile-like floral quality, mushroom and wet wool notes with some possible botrytis from the notes of dried honey and ginger.

WINE DETAILS: Winery: Famille Hugel Cuvee: Classic “Hugel” Grape: Pinot Gris Country: France Regions: Alsace Vintage: 2017 Alcohol: 14.5% Elevage: No New Oak Other: Slow, temperature controlled fermentations NOTES : Alsatian Pinot Gris is very different from its Italian counterpart Pinot Grigio; it is even slightly more aromatic. This could be confused with Marsanne/Roussanne blend form the Rhône, but those have slightly more lifted aromatics and are often aged in oak. Once you have narrowed down moderate aromatics, medium plus body, oily texture, medium acid, there are very few places to go, except Alsatian Pinot Grigio. A great blind tasting example that what is not there also can lead the way to a conclusion. Retail Price: $25 Click Here to Reorder at F.L.X.

  • Pinotfile Vol 10 Issue 20
    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 10, Issue 20 November 6, 2015 Benovia Celebrates Tenth Anniversary with Exceptional Offerings I have followed the emergence of Benovia Winery in Santa Rosa since its origins and I have tasted every wine from this winery over the past eight years beginning with the first commercially released wines from the 2005 vintage. Winemaker and viticulturist extraordinaire, Michael Sullivan, had to make do initially with an aged winery and equipment and primarily purchased grapes. The limited amount of estate vineyard sources needed considerable revitalization. Undaunted, he continued to adapt and reshape his winemaking and viticultural goals. Today, Benovia Winery has a modern new winemaking facility dedicated to Pinot Noir and is transitioning to all estate grown wines. The Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from the 2012 vintage were stunning examples of persistence and dedication, and the equally stellar 2013 wines celebrate the winery’s tenth anniversary and remarkable advances achieved over a relatively short span of time. The idea for Benovia Winery was first launched in 2002 when Joe Anderson and his spouse Mary Dewane, former CEO’s in the healthcare industry, bought the Cohn Vineyard located in the far western reaches of the Russian River Valley. The property included a home which allowed Joe and Mary, who lived in Arizona, to spend time in Sonoma County and pursue their winery aspirations. In 2005, they bought an 18-acre ranch located in the Laguna de Santa Rosa subregion of the Russian River Valley from Cecil DeLoach. The modest Hartman Road Vineyards and Winery property (where Merry Edwards made wine at one time under the Merry Vintners label) included a dated winery and 13.5 acres of Pinot Noir.
