Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and orange citrus, vanilla and toasty spice, rich texture. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, toasty spice and savory chalky mineral character. Nice!

Nose of honeycomb and citrus notes.
Palate is pure and squeaky clean. Absolutely stunning precision and focus on the mid palate. Really nice sweetness with moderate acidity. Hanzell always over-delivers.

Medium lemon with aromas of honey, bruised apple fruit with honeysuckle notes, aged 6 months in neutral French oak after stainless fermentation. On the palate ripe apple, pear and citrus zest flavors, extremely savory on medium+ finish ending with fruit and floral spice character.

Prefer the flagship Chard, but this is not bad.

Lovely balance and restraint. Expected this to be a richer style. Showed soft and easy but with good acidity. Just a slightly rounder fruit character than the Heitz. Not as mineral driven. Another great value at $20.

Fresh and clean, aromas of lemon blossom, green apple and a touch of fennel. The medium bodied mouthfeel is layered with Granny Smith Apple tangerine and a flinty minerality. Balanced acidity finished with tropical flavors rounded out with zesty notes.
