March 3, 2024 - Last bottle. Round wine with malolactic fermentation. Stone fruits, lemon curd, enough acidity to keep it fresh. These are lovely wines from Hansel.

August 24, 2023 - No contemporaneous notes. 2nd of 2 bottles. PnP and consumed over several hours. This was excellent, and superior to my last bottle consumed earlier this summer. This bottle was full bodied, concentrated with considerable oak on the palate. This struck me as more CA in style than other Hansel wines.(92-93).

August 17, 2023 - Crisp; mineral; bright acidity; sweet lemon zest, apple and vanilla; a touch of honeysuckle; nicely balanced.
