Walter Hansel 2019 Chardonnay "North Slope" 750ml

The 2019 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard is creamy, open-knit and generous, as these wines tend to be. Apricot, mint, pineapple and passion fruit flesh out nicely, framed by soft, plush contours that add considerable appeal. The 2019 has softened quite a bit since I tasted it last year.

Score: 94 points -- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 2022
