Shows great depth of flavor, length of finish, aromatic complexity, and a fine balance between richness and delicacy. Typically the climate is cool, the soil vigor low, and the vine clone or selection one with small berries, small clusters and inherently low yields. A classic, Burgundian-style wine, without the tropical fruit tones of some California Chardonnays. The Long Vineyards selection adds a floral note, and the Hyde Vineyard wines often seem charming and feminine. High natural acidity plays a prominent role.
The Wine Advocate
A stunning effort, the 2005 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard boasts great intensity along with huge tropical fruit notes interwoven with notions of spring flowers, orange marmalade, white peaches, and steely minerals. Its abundant fruit conceals any evidence of wood. Well-delineated, with outstanding acidity as well as a layered, sumptuous finish, it should age nicely for 4-5 years, possibly longer.
Score: 95.
