The Hyde Vineyard is located along the rolling hills of the North Carneros Highway, the soils here are heavy clay and the vines are old Wente selections ranging from 21-31 years old. This Chardonnay is just incredible, ripe pears, orange zest, vanilla, smoke, cherry blossoms and some toasty notes all work together in harmony to form the fantastic aromas and flavors. It shows remarkable depth and complexity with a gorgeous rich texture that is balanced out beautifully by just the right touch of acidity. It's not often I come across a Chardonnay that is so well-crafted and this incredibly delicious. (Best 2013-2020) - April, 2013 (JD)
