90pts Vinous

The 2022 Chardonnay The Estate Vineyard is soft, open-knit and ready to go. Apricot, tangerine peel, mint, spice and chamomile are all nicely lifted. The 2022 is quite attractive, but, like so many 2022s, the mid-palate is a bit light. This is very nicely balanced.

Tasting Notes

The Hansel Estate Chardonnay greats you with stunning peach blossoms, apricot, hints of lemon peel, and a whiff of crushed stones. On the palate, this luscious wine offers up a medium to full body with great opulence of spicy fruit and a decadent bold and creaminess. This amazing Chardonnay delivers impressive layers of flavors, finishing long with a honey-nut suggestion. The Estate Chardonnay is a blend of all of the blocks in the Hansel Estate Vineyard. It shows the diversity of expositions and closes that the site offers.
