Walter Hansel Winery
Cahill Lane Vineyard Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Medium lemon with aromas of nice ripe stone and tropical fruits with floral spice notes. Sourced from 40+ year-old vines, on the palate flavors of apple, peach and pineapple fruit flavors with a nice dollop of citrus and toasty oak. Well balanced, fresh long finish ending with creamy mineral character. Nice value.

Made in the Cali style with oak and sweetness but with fantastic concentration, balance and structure. Tropical fruits and pastry on the nose. Actually really harmonious. Supple waxiness and minerals. Great value!

Big fan of this producer. I had the ‘12 vintage of this a few months back and I think it was a touch better. Sulfuric/reductive aromatics. Toffee and butterscotch, but very salted. Savory and waxy.

A bit reductive at first, alongside burnt lemon, meringue and sea salt aromatics. More banana peel and honeyed mango and truffled mushroom came through as it opened and warmed up. Great producer. Thanks @Dan Fitzgerald
