WALTER HANSEL, CHARDONNAY, RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, 2014, 750ML

Some of the best values in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are from Stephen Hansel’s winery in the Russian River Valley. This wine exhibits plenty of honeyed brioche, with a greenish hue to its light-gold color, followed by notes of buttery hazelnuts, poached pear, pineapple and citrus oil. It should drink well for 5-6 years.
