VIN93 The 2016 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard fleshes out beautifully in the glass. Textured, resonant and inviting, the 2016 offers a compelling interplay of dense fruit, lifted aromatics and gorgeous mis-weight structure. Lemon confit, white flowers and lightly honeyed notes grace this exquisite Chardonnay. The 2016 Cahill Lane is another impeccable wine from Steven Hansel.
