Hyde Vineyard Mixed 6-Bottle Allocation

Chardonnay

This Chardonnay is from blocks planted for Patz & Hall in 1997 and 1999 using the famous “Hyde Wente” selection of Chardonnay. The 2022 Hyde Chardonnay demonstrates why this vineyard has been a three-star, acclaimed Patz & Hall offering for over 30 years. The just ripe pomaceous fruit mingles seamlessly with the vanilla spice from careful new French oak ageing. Evidence of lees contact show by richness of palate and a nuance of toast and flint.  This wine has wonderfully fresh acidity that is contrasted by startling deep, rich textures, a seeming contradiction, found in only the greatest Chardonnays.

Pinot Noir

This iconic site consistently delivers one of the most elegant and refined Pinots in our portfolio. Enveloping and inviting aromas of red delicious apple, black cherry, Earl Grey tea and potting soil speak to the great terroir of the Hyde Vineyard. The palate holds an elegant stance with a moderate level of tannin extraction, concentrated dark fruit and a lithe finish. Yet the overall intensity is high, and the length shows fruit richness and refined spice. Truly a wine for the engaged Pinot Noir enthusiast!
