This Chardonnay delivers the intensity of flavor, and structural oomph that made Hyde vineyard an icon. Pear on toasted brioche, with a sprinkle of crushed almond and spices move from nose to palate with textural length. Enjoy now or cellar.

Saline, white-flower and crushed-hazelnut aromas lead to layers of citrus, orchard fruit and creme brulee. Full-bodied and rich with lemon-pith and lemon-juice flavors and a long, flavorful finish. A complex, multidimensional wine. Delicious now.

The 2022 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is a deeper shade of yellow hue comes from Carneros. It boasts a savory and ripe feel with notes of honeycomb, hazelnut, orange pith, baking spice, and baked golden apples. It’s full-bodied and saturates the palate, lifted with refreshing acidity to balance it nicely. It offers a silky texture and fruity feel and will drink well now or over the coming 5-6 years.

A firm, juicy frame unfurls to expose vibrant elements of wildflower honey, tangerine, grilled pineapple and lemon blossoms, with toasted brioche and marmalade, plus touches of fleshy mango and candied ginger. Notes of dried lemon basil gain momentum on the long finish. Drink now through 2037. 402 cases made.

Matured for 18 months in 32% new French oak, the 2022 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard has slowly unfurling scents of matchstick, oystershell, red pear, bread dough and holiday spices. The medium-bodied palate is more open at this stage, segueing to ripe stone fruit flavors. It’s structured by bright, mouthwatering acidity and has a long, saline-laced finish. It will benefit from time in the cellar.
