2017 Walter Hansel Winery Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard Russian River Valley

"The 2017 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard is another super-expressive wine in the range. In this tasting, the North Slope is oily and beautifully textured, with striking resonance and exceptional balance. It is especially viscous in 2017, and it's a style that works beautifully. This silky, creamy Chardonnay should drink well with minimal cellaring." - Antonio Galloni Review Date: January 2019
