Impromptu meet up at Classic!
Salted caramel & golden pear! Wow. What a gorgeous nose. Slightly viscous palate with tart and under ripe tropical fruits. Very little butter. This is in a really good drinking window...need to seek this producer out more often. Almost a 9.4 for me. Thanks @Dan Fitzgerald

Cedar & nutmeg, ripe yellow apples, yellow mango & pineapple. Seriously spicy, like someone dipped a mango in cinnamon. Hard to eat with food that has heat to it.

Hansel’s 2012 Chardonnay Estate is one of the best California wines readers will find in its price range. Honey, almonds, tangerine peel, smoke and butter meld together in a voluptuous Chardonnay endowed with a real sense of Russian River richness. (AG)
