2023 Walter Hansel "The Meadows Vineyard" Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The 2023 Chardonnay The Meadows Vineyard has a more focused and spiced feel in the glass, with aromas of green apples, candied lime, white pepper, and caramel. Medium to full-bodied, it boasts a refreshing and even spine of acidity, a balanced, linear feel, and a mouthwatering finish. It’s a highly appealing Chardonnay with the potential to improve over the next couple of years and drink its best over the coming 4-6 years. (AF)
