Walter Hansel - Chardonnay, North Slope Vineyard

Russian River Valley, Sonoma County 2019

Vinous Media - 94 Points!

"The 2019 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard is one of the most overtly, powerful wines in this range. A wine of real phenolic intensity, the North Slope is a structured, savory Chardonnay that is going to need a few years to come around. It is incredibly distinctive. Crushed rocks, tangy herbs and lemon confit all grace a Chardonnay that balances power with transparency."

Talk about a wine that has it all! The 2019 Walter Hansel North Slope Vineyard is exactly that. Made from 100% Chardonnay from the North Slope Vineyard in the ideal growing environment of the Russian River Valley - from the stellar 2019 vintage - and farmed and produced by the celebrated Steven Hansel (Walter's Son) who worked directly with Tom Rochioli, undoubtedly one of the finest producers of Chardonnay in the United States. This 2019 North Slope is simply outstanding, presenting aromas of toasted hazelnuts, golden apples, orange blossoms, and lemon curd. The palate is finessed, full-bodied with balanced acidity, subtle oak, and a mineral undertone.

Catena Zapata - D.V. Zapata, Malbec Blend,

Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina 2019

New Vintage - New Label - Same Fantastic Winemaking From Catena Zapata! 

JS94/TA92/WA91+

The DV Zapata is a special assemblage of High Mountain Estate Vineyards made by fourth generation vintner, Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. Through decades of study and exploration within Mendoza's high altitude mountain terroirs, the Catena family has identified special locations for its Estate vineyards. From the marriage of these historic vineyards emerges a wine of unique character that has natural balance, concentration and a distinct varietal identity. We love this wine as a case-worthy everyday drinker with aging potential for up to 15+ years.
