2012 WALTER HANSEL "THE MEADOWS" CHARDONNAY "... The least expensive Chardonnay (and it's a heck of a value)... Made entirely from the Hanzell clone of Chardonnay planted in sandy Goldridge soils... A Corton-Charlemagne look-alike (at a fraction of the price), it offers copious notes of tangerine oil, caramelized citrus, lemon rind, white peach and a stony character. The oak is kept to a minimum in this medium to full-bodied, delicious, pure Chardonnay. Enjoy it over the next 3-4 years." 92 Points, Robert Parker "Combining quality with reasonable prices and estate-grown grapes, you can't do much better than Stephen Hansel's Chardonnays..."
