Vineyard Character: Scents of orange peel and orange blossom, flavors of fresh green apple, orange marmalade and ginger. This single vineyard Chardonnay is comprised of a blend of Larry Hyde’s unique selections of Hyde-Wente and Robert Young clones.
Tasting Notes: Profoundly consistent from vintage to vintage, the 2006 bottling of our HYDE VINEYARD Carneros Chardonnay offers all the lemon cream, orange blossom and crème brulée flavors that have come to define this wine, but with even more rich density and minerality than the previous vintage. With restrained oak, refreshing acidity and an appealing roasted hazelnut quality, the 2006 HYDE VINEYARD Carneros Chardonnay continues the tradition of great wines from this world-class vineyard.
Winemaking: 100% Pinot Noir fruit; Multi-yeast fermentations (wild & cultured); 100% malo-lactic fermentation in barrel; 40% new Burgundian French oak barrels; Bottled without fining or filtration
