  PnP. Color is mid-golden straw. On the nose: Lemon and orange citrus, minerals, apple and pear, honeysuckle. On the palate: Oak spices, apple, pear, soft citrus , honey and nice minerality and acidity. Really well made wine. I had been gagging to try and was able to find one bottle. I will definitely be looking for more.

  Improved with time in glass. Pear, white stone fruit, beeswax. Toasted bread, some nuttiness, and oak on the finish. While nice, and interesting at moments, it didn't strike the right balance here.

  A very impressive showing, this was quite tight and wound up so we tossed it into a decanter and the fireworks started within 45 plus minutes. Beautiful exotic tropical fruit and great texture which is fresh and focused. Some spice up front and still very young but shows great promise. Nice umami salinity on the long balanced finish. Would give this a minimum of 3 years to round up a bit and it will likely merit a few more point. One of the better Cali Chards I have had in the last few years. Class in a glass!

  Just a delicious Chardonnay. I have had the last three vintages of this wine and they seem to keep getting better. Pale gold color. Toasted almond, red apple, brioche on the nose. Ripe apple and pear, butter, almond, and a great mineral undertone. 94 points.

  Great partnership of these two great wine makers. I love the style produced with Hyde Grapes. This is definitely my kind of Chardonnay
