Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This is a classic expression of Hyde Vineyard, and one of our standout wines of the vintage! The aromatics are intricate and inviting, with notes of honey, hazelnut, peach, cinnamon and narcissus. On the palate, this wine offers a lovely texture and just the right amount of intensity, with vibrant orange and grapefruit flavors, sophisticated minerality and a beam of bright acidity that adds focus to the pure fruit notes. The finish lingers with cinnamon and floral notes and subtle oak-inspired hints of clove and honey.

Professional Ratings

91 Wine Spectator
Intense and vibrant, offering a mix of spice, ripe pear and honeydew melon flavors, with subtle hints of smoke and cedar.
90 Wine Enthusiast
Don't drink this Chardonnay too cold, as it needs a little while in the glass to show its stuff. Right off the bat, it's austere, but when it airs, the tropical fruit, orange and oak complexities come out.

Chardonnay Wine

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Carneros Wine

California

View all products

Known for elegant wines that combine power and finesse, Carneros is set in the rolling hills that straddle the southernmost parts of both Sonoma and Napa counties. The cooling winds from the abutting San Pablo Bay, combined with lots of midday California sunshine, create an ideal environment for producing wines with a perfect balance of crisp acidity and well-ripened fruit.

This cooler pocket of California lends itself to growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Carneros is an important source of sparkling wines made in the style of Champagne as well.
