Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
His 2014 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is produced from the Robert Young clone of Chardonnay that is more common in Sonoma than Napa. Aged completely in stainless steel and neutral oak, this is a steely Chardonnay that has gone through full malolactic, but has good acidity, delicious baked apple, caramelized citrus, a lemon-blossom nose, medium body, excellent acidity and a persistent finish. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

Presents a tropical touch of pineapple and mango to the pithy green apple and citrus notes, keeping the flavors juicy and lively. Ends with a touch of smoky, cedary oak. Drink now.
We're not your typical proprietors. We like to get our hands dirty in the vineyards and the cellar, thrive on taking risks that support what we believe in, and pride ourselves on remaining accessible to our community. Rudius is a true family affair — Jeff oversees every move from vine to bottle, while Britt ("the brains of the operation," as Jeff likes to say) manages everything in between. With many exciting developments on the horizon, we're thrilled to continue making and sharing exceptional wines with you for years to come.
