Winemaker Notes
This is a great expression of Hyde Vineyard: dynamic, energetic and profoundly elegant, with fantastic aromas of yellow apple, honey, clove, carnation, smoke and citrus oil. Mouthwatering acidity makes flavors of orange liqueur, ginger, toffee and toasted hazelnuts dance across the palate, with a streak of Hyde’s signature minerality adding focus and length to a complex and satisfying finish. This is a beautiful example of what can be achieved from grand cru-caliber site in an exceptional vintage.

Wine Enthusiast
The producer has been working with this vineyard since 1990 and this vintage, like so many others, is just a stunner, lovely and inviting, crisp and well-crafted with a zip of minerality. Floral honeysuckle and beeswax rise on the nose, opening the way for tastes of mandarin orange, ginger and toffee. Drink now, or if you can possibly contain yourself, through 2023. Cellar Selection

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard (1,100 cases produced) is made from the Hyde-Old Wente clone. From sandy, clay, loam soils, it offers up aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, delicate pineapple and subtle oak. Medium to full-bodied with great acidity as well as beautiful purity and freshness, it should drink nicely for 5-7 years, perhaps longer.

Decanter
Charming and perfumed nose with ripe Sicilian lemons, honey and white flowers. Displays superb grip on the mid-palate. Satisfying acidity keeps tension high and stitches the wine together beautifully onto a long, harmonious finish.

Wine & Spirits
A savory chardonnay with baked pear flavors just edging out the earthiness, the finish of this wine takes on the sweet scent of a root cellar. Leesy, soft and round, this is a balanced wine to serve with roast pork.
