About
Currently only available in St. George, please inquire about securing an allocation for the 2010 vintage release.
Bottleneck is thrilled to offer our Utah Resturanteurs the inside track on the latest releases from one of the Russian River Valley's star producers, Walter Hansel and only recently been 'discovered' by Robert Parker, and demand has escalated considerably. With Utah's Small Winery Pricing make these truly spectacular values.
One of northern California's "good guys" is Stephen Hansel, who fashions top- quality Burgundian-styled Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Cara Schwint, Stein Eriksen Lodge, first brought these wines to my attention, and Hansel is one of my reference point visits in the North Coast. Hansel founded the winery in 1978 and now owns 80 acres under vine. These are all noteworthy cuvees that remain somewhat under the radar. Moreover, prices remain unbelievably fair for wines of such quality. The Chardonnays all possess wonderful textures…and good aging potential.

Review
"The 2007 Chardonnay Estate is a terrific value, exhibiting notes of tropical fruit, smoked nuts, excellent acidity, and a broad, savory mouthfeel. $42"
