Rich, Textural, and Elegantly Oaked

If you enjoy Chardonnay with real flavor and a creamy feel, this is a strong pick. Unlike very lean, citrus-only styles, this wine has more body and depth, with ripe pear, orchard fruit, floral notes, and gentle oak adding a soft, rounded texture rather than heavy butteriness.

Highlights

  • Field blend of Dijon clones 95 and 76, a key part of the vineyard's identity.
  • One of Walter Hansel's richer Chardonnay expressions, shaped by low yields and notable concentration in prior reviewed vintages.
  • A Russian River Valley Chardonnay that aims for texture and site expression rather than overt heaviness, with about 10 months in French oak and only partial new wood across the Chardonnay program.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright yellow-gold.
  • Nose: Honeycomb, melon, lemon rind, dried pear, chamomile, crushed flowers, and a hint of tangerine oil.
  • Palate: Medium- to full-bodied, silky, and layered, with ripe orchard fruit, floral lift, mineral accents, and a graceful, savory finish.
