Tasting Note

Hyde Vineyard has justifiably become one of the superstar vineyards in Carneros. Through many years of dedicated research, planting and winemaking, Larry Hyde has developed two of the most important grape selections in California: Hyde-Wente Chardonnay and Hyde-Calera Pinot Noir. Both are noted for extremely low yields, primarily due to the very small berry size within each cluster. The Chardonnay from Hyde is some of the most sought-after fruit in the pantheon of great California vineyards This Chardonnay is from blocks planted exclusively for Patz & Hall in 1999 using the famous “Hyde Wente” selection of Chardonnay. This vintage shows classic characters of delicate white flowers, honey, orange peel and toasted almond. A slight whisper of faraway camp fire accents the fresh green apple and butter cookie notes in the mouth. This wine is at once delicate, powerful, elusive and evocative. A classic year for this iconic site.

Product Notes

The Patz & Hall Hyde Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay is a stunning wine that shows off the best of Carneros. This wine is made from grapes grown in the iconic Hyde Vineyard, which is known for producing complex, nuanced wines. It is crafted with care by the expert winemakers at Patz & Hall, who use traditional Burgundian techniques to create a wine that is rich, full-bodied and delicious. On the nose, this Chardonnay offers up aromas of fresh pear, apple, and honeycomb, while the palate is filled with flavours of ripe peach, toasted almonds, and a hint of vanilla. The finish is long, balanced, and bright, making this wine a true standout.
