Staff Pick Notes

I wish every person still stubbornly in the "ABC" (anything-but-Chardonnay) club would take a sip of the Hanzell "Sebella" Chardonnay. It is solidly unlike the reputation tarnishing California Chardonnays that turned people against the varietal. With careful intention, the winemakers at Hanzell have produced an accessible wine that is crisp with inviting yellow fruit flavors like ripe yellow apple and Meyer lemon curd.

Chardonnay is capable of an incredibly wide range of styles, and this wine shows just how much people avoiding it are missing out on.
