Walter Hansel Chardonnay RRV North Slope 2011
A classic in the making, the 2011 North Slope Chardonnay displays aromas of toasted popcorn and pineapple, lemon oil and honeysuckle. This is a full-bodied dense wine that offers rich, tropical fruit one expects from the Russian River. A pure expression of Chardonnay, it is ready to go right now and will continue to please for the next three years.
