Hanzell Chardonnay Sonoma Valley 2015

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Showing beautifully, the 2015 Chardonnay offers a touch of maturity in its caramelized peach, pineapple, flora, and toasted bread-like aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and beautifully textured on the palate, it has plenty of fruit, a solid spine of acidity, and a clean, mineral-laced finish. This is just a beautiful Chardonnay from Sonoma that's drinking at point today yet will evolve nicely for another 5-7 years. Drink: 2020-2027. (12/14/20)"

93+ points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "[$78 list] The 2015 Chardonnay is a little reticent to begin, slowing unfurling to reveal lemon tart, apple pie and nectarine notions with hints of honeyed toast, cashews and orange blossoms. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and elegantly styled with many citrus and stone fruit layers accented by savory suggestions and a satiny texture, finishing long and mineral laced. Drink: 2018-2025. (Jun 2018)"

Producer notes: "Classic floral notes of chamomile and honeysuckle along with green pear, honeydew melon, papaya, granny smith apple and kumquat abound in this chardonnay. Rich and full upon entry, there is a tension between the creaminess and the mouthwater - ing citrus, which lead to a long, luxurious and powerful finish."
