2018 Walter Hansel Winery Chardonnay, The Meadows Vineyard

TASTING NOTES

"The 2018 Chardonnay The Meadows is vivid and ample in the glass. Orange confit, crème brulee, spice, honey and tropical overtones all flesh out in this creamy wonderfully expressive Chardonnay. This is a decidedly overt style, and yet all the elements are so nicely balanced. Time in the glass brings out pretty floral notes that add brightness." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

"The 2018 Chardonnay The Meadows Vineyard takes its time to unfold to warm white peaches, honeycomb and roasted almonds with very pretty herbal notes in the background. The light-bodied palate is silky and delicate, with bright freshness and detailed flavors on the long finish. 959 cases produced." Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
