Hansel Cahill Lane Chardonnay 2007 Russian River Valley
The Cahill Lane offering from this boutique Californian winery is more restrained than others, it has real Burgundian tension with oak, fruit and structure in perfect harmony. Obviously produced with a nod to France with a lovely purity of Chardonnay flavours which would put many première cru Puligny Montrachet's to shame. With notes of hazelnut, apricot and hot buttered toast this is a real food wine which will drink now or cellar nicely for 3-4 years.
