Score 93/100 · Drink 2018-2024, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Jun 2018

The 2015 Chardonnay North Slope Vineyard has a very sultry nose of apricots, green mango and grapefruit with touches of croissant, honeysuckle and chalk dust. Medium to full-bodied with a sexy, satiny texture and tons of citrus and stone fruit layers, it has a nice long, savory finish. 840 cases produced.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2018-2023, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2018

The 2015 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard is one of the more lifted and aromatically bright wines in this range. Candied lemon peel, tangerine and white flowers give the 2015 an attractive upper register that balances the overt fruit that is typical of these Chardonnays.

The 2015 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard is bold, rich and intense, with striking texture and lovely aromatic presence. A wine of silkiness and nuance, the North Slope is another very pretty Chardonnay from Hansel. This is one of the more ample, creamy wines in a vintage that produced fairly large wines across the board.
