2012 Hyde De Villaine Carneros Chardonnay

Description

95   James Suckling
“Dense and layered with richness and ripeness, but freshness underneath. Excellent depth and center palate. Full and flavorful. Fab now.”

94   Wine Enthusiast
“In this lively, delicately balanced wine from an exceptional vineyard, an exuberance of pear and tangerine plays on the palate, buoyed by focused minerality. With just the right touch of ripeness and richness, it ends with a suggestion of lemon custard.”

93   Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2012 Chardonnay is layered with singular aromas of cheese rind, elderflower, matcha, quince paste and honeyed peaches with earthy nuances. The palate offers up an incredible lushness of fruit, tempered by earthy notions and lifted by tangy acidity, finishing very long, layered and energetic.”
