2021 The North Slope Vineyard Chardonnay, Walter Hansel
A refined, bread filled nose with notes of butter biscuits, lemon cream and chrushed minerals. Very fine.
The taste is structured and racy with notes of candied lemons, lemon licorice and brioche. A very fine acidity. Lovely.
93p (tasted 2024/12)
2019 Russian River Valley Chardonnay, Paul Hobbs
Big and bold with gorgeous ripe lemon fruit, smoke, sugared lime juice and dark fudge. Deep and intense.
The taste is creamy and steady with notes of lemon sponge cake, sweet minerals and matchbox. Long and juicy. Just great.
