2001 Hanzell Vineyards Chardonnay, Sonoma Valley, USA 750ml

A fabulous and exciting Chard. It's a big wine, with powerful pear, tropical fruit and oriental spice flavors, and well oaked. But it's balanced with clean acidity, and feels elegant all the way through. This is a wine with a history of aging well. Drink now, but will hold and improve for at least ten years.
