Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Much like the 2010 vintage, this is a classic expression of Hyde, delivering all of the vineyard character that makes this site legendary. The aromas burst with high-frequency aromas of orange, white flowers and jasmine, as well as more subtle layers of chalk, spice and shortbread. The palate, which is focused and energetic, has pronounced minerality and crisp acidity. At the same time, there's a lovely texture and weight that belies the acidity, and a lingering, almost sappy quality to the mid-palate. French oak adds seamlessly integrated notes of clove, warm spice and gingerbread that linger on the long finish.

Professional Ratings

92 Tasting Panel
Another stuffing wine from one of America's greatest vineyards; smooth and ripe with tangy, vibrant acidity and lovely texture; crisp and lively with elegance and great style.
91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Another exotic wine is the 2011 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard, which seems slightly more reserved than the Dutton but builds incrementally in the mouth to a medium to full-bodied, beautiful Chardonnay with notes of poached pear, white peach, honeysuckle and mango. It is medium-bodied and very classy.

Chardonnay Wine

View all products

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Carneros Wine

California

View all products

Known for elegant wines that combine power and finesse, Carneros is set in the rolling hills that straddle the southernmost parts of both Sonoma and Napa counties. The cooling winds from the abutting San Pablo Bay, combined with lots of midday California sunshine, create an ideal environment for producing wines with a perfect balance of crisp acidity and well-ripened fruit.

This cooler pocket of California lends itself to growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Carneros is an important source of sparkling wines made in the style of Champagne as well.
