This Hansel was beautiful. Started out tight on acidity but calmed down and balanced nicely after a few hours. Bought another. Cheers.

Really well made but a bit too much flowers and honey for me.

The expressive nose shows ripe peach, apricot, coconut, dried white flower, roasted almond, and hint of honey. The medium to full body is richly textured with great depth of flavors echoing the nose, yet mange’s to be nimble enough. Long elegant finish.
From selected parcels from the estate vineyards at the highest elevation, This is an exuberant yet graceful chard. Super delicious.

While I’ll never be known as a lover of California chardonnay, this is a very good one. The Cuvée Alyce is light on its feet with notes of honey and pear, a touch of oak, and great balancing acidity.

Very subtle, soft on the pallet with some butter and understated fruit.
