Tasting Notes

Intense aromatics of citrus, stone fruit, honeycomb and white peach on the nose. On the palate, the wine’s acidity and lemon curd flavors meld into a delicate and long minerality tinged with chamomile finish.

Vineyard Notes

Located in the Los Carneros AVA in Napa Valley, Hyde Vineyard’s East facing slopes provide ideal sun exposure when paired with the cool coastal winds that blow from San Pablo Bay through Carneros. Considered one of the superstar vineyards of the Napa Valley, the grapes from this location are perfect for crafting our single vineyard Chardonnay.

Vintage Notes

Plenty of rain during the winter followed by a wonderful spring and a mild summer produced excellent conditions for long hang time. Late bud break and flowering combined with these perfect weather conditions to produce even ripening. The cooler than normal vintage allowed for slow sugar accumulation that permitted us to wait as long as possible for flavor development and ideal harvest conditions. Thanks to the wet winter and perfect berry set conditions we were rewarded with a bountiful but full of flavor vintage.

Winemaker's Notes

Whole cluster pressed. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, 13% new. Aged on the lees for 24 months with minimal racking and minimal stirring. Full malolactic fermentation to soften acidity. Bottled non filtered.
