Score 92/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

The 2023 Chardonnay Hyde was matured for six months in 100% new French oak. It opens with youthful touches of crème caramel over a core of yellow apples, jasmine and saline. The palate balances bright, linear acidity with a rounded, mouth-coating texture. It offers concentrated, mineral-driven flavors and has a long, salty finish. It deserves 2-3+ years in the cellar. 547 cases produced.

The 2023 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard shows the brighter side of this well-known site. Even so, it retains lovely textural nuance. Dried lemon peel, spice, mint, chamomile and dried flowers all grace this super-expressive Chardonnay. Blocked malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors brisk.
