Walter Hansel Winery Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2016

$24.99

91 RP - New Release                                                            Another great chardonnay release from Walter Hansel. Limited. 91 points Robert Parker: "The 2016 Chardonnay Estate offers up notes of white peaches, apple pie and green guava with hints of lightly browned toast and allspice. Medium to full-bodied, it is beautifully silky in the mouth with great vivacity and a long, pure citrus and stone fruit-layered finish. 938 cases produced... ...The Hansel wines capture the essence of the Russian River in their exuberant, forward personalities. In my view, the Chardonnays are reference points for what Wente clone Chardonnay is all about. Quality is high across the board and pricing remains incredibly consumer friendly throughout the range, making these some of the most delicious and compelling Sonoma wines readers will come across."

2016 is stunning. Aromatics and palate presentation are so sexy. Nose presents candied apples and brioche. Palate is similar, complicated by honey, beeswax and almonds. Dense mouthfeel, which just sails on. At $25 per bottle (in NJ), this is a case buy.
