The 2021 Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce is gorgeous and lush, pouring a saturated golden hue, and is forward with aromas of baked golden apple, preserve lemon, toasted spice, and pine resin. Rounded and packed with glycerol-like texture, this full-bodied white is ample but lifts cleanly off the palate with a long finish, leaving behind a mouthwatering hint of salinity. Allow it another 6 months to a year in the cellar and drink 2024-2032.

This is a gorgeous set of Chardonnays from Stephen Hansel. The 2021s are bright and full of the textural nuance that is such a signature in the vintage. These whites remain archetypes for the Russian River Valley. Hansel also turned out brilliant 2021 Pinots that confirm all the promise I sensed in the tank samples just prior to bottling. The 2021s are deep, beautifully perfumed and super-expressive. Readers will find a collection of Russian River Pinots that offers a compelling mix of fruit intensity and energy. These are among the very finest Pinots I can remember tasting here. Best of all, the wines remain exceedingly fairly priced, especially in today’s environment.

It is a field blend of clone 777 and 115. This minimal crop yield tends to produce wines that are big, rich, "over the top" flavors; perfect for "Alyce".'

Steve Hansels vän, den berömda vinmakaren Tom Rochioli, hjälpte honom i de tidiga stadierna av sin vinutbildning genom att bjuda in honom att arbeta ett par skördar på...

"I was quite taken with the wines I tasted with proprietor Stephen Hansel earlier this year. In particular, the 2010 Chardonnays have turned out far better than I expected. They are complete and beautifully balanced to a degree that is surprising." Wine Advocate #206 April 2013
