Established in 1957, Hanzell winery has been producing
world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Sonoma, California, and from June 19 –
25 Joe’s will be pouring those two wines that have been perfectly crafted for
over 6 decades.
For over 50 years the grapes used to produce these
exceptional wines have been estate-grown, giving their team complete control to
produce the finest wines from start to finish. The Hanzell, Chardonnay, Sonoma Valley, California ($12 3oz / $24 6oz)
is sourced from small enclaves located within their estate Chardonnay
vineyards. Aromas of mango and ripe pear are perfectly framed by hints of lemon
zest and jasmine. Upon first taste the wine is enticingly fresh, but as the
wine begins to open, an enticing richness and texture develop, offering hints
of brioche with a touch of salinity to create a perfect match for our Jumbo
Alaskan King Crab Legs
In 1948, J.D. Zellerbach was employed by President Truman to
travel to Europe to implement the Marshall Plan. It was around this time that
Mr. Zellerbach developed an affinity for fine Pinot Noir, leading to his
purchase of 14 acres of land on the steep hillside on the Mayacamas Range
overlooking Sonoma. Under the guidance of founding winemaker, Brad Webb and
consultants from Burgundy, they created a wine that truly represents a place.
The Hanzell, Pinot Noir, Sonoma
Valley, California ($17 3oz / $34 6oz) is loaded with aromas of black
cherry, juniper, and a hint of forest floor. On the palate the wine is
deliciously delicate with a velvety quality through the finish, making this a
great wine for those who love the purity of Pinot Noir and a great pairing for Wild
Sockeye Salmon with Key Lime Butter.
Wine Tip: When it comes to wine and food pairings,
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are tremendous partners for a wide array of dishes.
Be adventurous with your pairings and find your new favorite match for one of
our signature dishes.
