ANTONIO GALLONI 94 POINTS - "Hanzell is one of the most historic properties in the United States. It is the oldest continuously producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyard in the country. Jason Jardine crafts wines of elegance and understatement from this small property on Sonoma’s Moon Mountain. Most of the wines are offered under the Hanzell label, with the exception of a few tiny-production experimental bottlings that fall under the Hanzell Farms label. Readers who appreciate wines of subtlety and nuance will find much to admire."
"The 2018 Chardonnay is a magical, complex wine that really blossoms beautifully with a few hours of air. Layered and deep, with tons of nuance, the 2018 remains light on its feet and quite understated. Hints of apricot, tangerine, chamomile and dried flowers slowly open with a bit of coaxing. It's the sort of wine that requires several hours of undivided attention."
