Deep gnarly fruit. Tar and great purity and intensity. Hard to locate. Plum and brambles. Very good — 23 days ago

Not quite what I was searching for. I had different amazing Chardonnay by the glass at a local restaurant but didn’t get the name. Similar flavor but this one more thick or buttery (not sure how to describe). I love the tasting notes except for the heaviness. Will keep searching. However I did enjoy this. Not sure I can taste the price as compared to other Chardonnays that taste similar to me. — 2 years ago

Winemaker from Hanzell. Tasted about 3-4 years ago, but the 2007 was current. Held it back for a bit. Even for the age the acidity was screaming! Phenomenal wine for the money! — 9 years ago

Solid but the Moon Mtn edition is no better than their regular bottling — 10 months ago

Reminds me of laurel glen back in the day. Restrained and elegant. — a year ago

A refreshing Cab locking in at 13.6% abv. Tobacco, pencil shaving, slight hints of pyrazine, red and black berries, high acidity, tight elevated still coarse and young gum tannins. — 4 years ago

Aroma of lime zest, lemon verbena, honeysuckle, Meyer lemon, orange blossom, and white peach. Tastes of citrus, kumquat, and Granny Smith followed with pleasant minerality. Nine months in French oak and no ML make this easy to drink yet refined wine. — 8 years ago

Easily the most monumental Pinot I've had from California. Made by Brad Webb at Hanzell and bottled by Joe Heitz (note the 'perfected by' on the label) this wine was still insanely fresh and dense and barely bricking around the rim. This was almost the wotn on a night that included 1928 pommard epenots and 59 roumier bonnes mares. — 9 years ago

Deep golden color, pear and nectarine on the nose. Medium acid, long finish, creamy and mineral. Taste of stone fruit, pear with a subtle note of honey. — a year ago

Muted upon opening and took about 1/2 hr before it revealed anything of note. Beautiful lemon and stone fruit with a racy acid streak. — a year ago

Wow. Big and deep. The Hanzell behind it was better drinking now… but I bet the Mayacamas is better in 10 years. — 4 years ago

Definitely new world, but delicious fruit. We corked this after the first night and opened it three days later and it still sang with no signs of oxidation at all. That was a very pleasant surprise. — 6 years ago

The two words on this back label that stand out are intense and age-worthy. This wine at five years old is still, almost prohibitively, youthful. Oak and vanilla (so lightly), lemon and lime and apple, fresh white flowers, lacy minerality, woodsy notes to finish, and enough acid to etch monuments. Monuments like this wine. A special bottle. Decanted one hour, and that wasn't nearly long enough. — 9 years ago
