Splendid Gin-Tonic — 10 years ago
One of the best California Chardonnays I’ve ever encountered, and the first time I’ve had a Hansel white wine. There’s a lot going on here, and everything is so just delicately balanced. Salty lemon, blood orange, marmalade, pear, fresh herbs, vanilla bean, crushed rocks, mint, etc. The oak treatment here is uniquely impressive, and the wine just keeps giving. Would love to revisit in a few years, because it will improve. — 2 years ago
Great gin, even though I am not a fan of cucumber. So, it is certainly great for gin and tonic, but I wont sip it. — 5 years ago

2019 vintage. Might be even better than the excellent 2018. A very elegant wine with a lovely nose of ripe black fruit, lead pencil, dark chocolate and flowers. In the mouth it is juicy and energetic with real depth, haute couture tannins and a long mineral finish. Amazing to see what the Lorenzetti family has achieved with this estate in 10 years time. Very impressive and terrific value. Abv. 14%. — 2 years ago
