The 2021 Estate Chardonnay is a classic Hanzell top to bottom: a wine of presence and persistence with a complex, savory nose of toasted grain, skinned hazelnut, Asian pear, Meyer lemon and apricot. Broad and rich on the palate, it’s the wine’s Burgundy-like acidity and the site’s inherent minerality that help make it the perfect amalgam of Old World and New. And, beginning in this harvest, Hanzell is certified organic!

The best news of all, besides the special price, is that, at five years past the vintage, you have the opportunity to taste a mature Hanzell Chard at the peak of its powers. It’s truly a wonderful experience that will remind you that Chardonnay, under the best conditions, can be a very, very complex and extraordinary wine. Very highly recommended!

Vinous, 95 points: The 2021 Chardonnay is glorious. It captures so much of what makes Moon Mountain such a special place. Light on its feet but with plenty of texture, the Chardonnay dazzles in 2021. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried herbs, flowers and chamomile open with a bit of coaxing. I especially admire the wine's dynamic energy. The 2021 spent 18 months in a combination of French oak and stainless steel. This is an impressive showing.

James Suckling, 94 points: The nose has a balance of power and restraint, with aromas of preserved lemons, river stones and jasmine. The palate is medium-bodied with a generous texture and high-tension acidity, showing notes of lime curd, orange zest and minerals. Grown in heritage vineyards planted in 1953, 1972 and 1976. Made to age. Drink from 2027.
