(James Suckling Score 97) The oldest chardonnay vines on the Hyde Vineyard, which were planted in 1979. This has a very powerful feel to it. Commanding and dense. The nose has dried peaches, grapefruit, crushed wet rocks and minerals with cool pears and an chamomile flower edge as well as flinty notes. The palate has a direct, linear style. Very concentrated, dense and deep-set with a potent combination of extreme power and tension. This has grip, punch and depth. Mouthwatering and long. Just 100 dozen bottled. Drink or hold.

(Wine Advocate Score 95) Chalky at first, the 2016 Chardonnay takes its time to reveal citrus blossoms, lime peel, crushed stone, apricots and pure lemon and apple fruit with dusty, minerally nuances. The palate walks a wonderful line of pure, ripe fruits and fresh citrusy and rocky accents. It has a silky texture, tangy lift and a very long, nuanced finish. This has the stuffing and structure to be very long lived.

Freshness and brightness take center stage in the precise structure of this wine. Aromas of jasmine and lime blossom pair with Meyer lemon and green apple, which lead to hints of baking spices and toasted brioche. The palate bursts with vibrant acidity and mouth-coating textures, giving way to a lingering mineral-driven finish. The focus and tension of this wine promise aging for years to come.
