Hanzell’s Sebella Sonoma County Chardonnay 2020 is a bright, polished expression of Sonoma fruit, crafted in a style that emphasizes freshness over heavy oak. It shows the winery’s signature balance—clean citrus, gentle orchard‑fruit richness, and a subtle mineral line that keeps everything lifted. The wine sits comfortably in the middle ground between lean, Chablis‑like restraint and fuller California opulence, making it versatile at the table and appealing to a wide range of Chardonnay drinkers.
The tasting profile opens with lemon curd, Meyer lemon, yellow apple, and pear, layered with hints of kiwi, apricot, and white peach. On the palate, it’s medium‑bodied with crisp acidity, carrying flavors of pineapple, honeysuckle, and stone fruit. Light touches of baking spice, nutmeg, cardamom, and a whisper of salted caramel add complexity without weighing the wine down, leading to a clean, mineral finish.
ABV: 13.8%
