Tasting Notes

This Chardonnay is rich with delicate aromas of jasmine, orange blossom, citrus fruit, and dried pineapple with hints of honey bread. The midpalate is vibrant with flavors of ripe peach, hazelnut, Asian pear, and lemon tart. The minerality and acidity offer complexity to the refreshing finish.

About Hyde Estate Winery

Founded by Larry Hyde in 1979, Hyde Vineyards produces some of the most coveted grapes in Napa Valley. Consisting of over 200 planted acres on several vineyard properties in Carneros, the Hyde family sells fruit to over 35 different wineries while retaining a small quantity of vines for their estate wine program.

Located in the heart of Carneros, Hyde Vineyards sits in the coolest region of Napa Valley influenced by the cooling effect of the Petaluma Gap. Morning fog and cool breezes in the afternoons allow for warm days and cool nights resulting in a long growing season. Through years of extensive research and experimentation, Larry Hyde has planted a unique variety of clones while carefully orienting the row directions to suit the rolling hills. His tireless work has resulted in a tapestry of vineyard blocks with over ten different varietals planted covering the unique terroir of Hyde Vineyards.
