Description

Patz & Hall – Chardonnay Carneros Hyde Vineyard 2018 (750ml)

Winemaker Notes

The 2018 vintage is elegant, yet powerful and displays classic Hyde Vineyard traits of delicate white flowers, tangerine zest, and lemon cream. On the palate the wine is citrus-driven with orange and lemon flavors along with hints of toasted almond and vanilla. The wine has great acidity that leaves a white chalk/mineral note on the very long finish.

Critical Acclaim

WS93
Wine Spectator
Rich and contoured, this is filled with concentrated Fuji apple, pear tart and quince paste flavors that are well-structured and backed by powerful acidity. Shows intense mineral and sea salt notes on the long finish.
W&S90
Wine & Spirits
There’s intensity of fruit in this wine, a concentration of flavor that makes it feel generous, even as it is savory and dry. Reductive as a young wine, this needs two or three years in the cellar to show its best, though the pedigree of the fruit is already apparent.
