Blocbkuster new Napa Valley Chardonnay from Hyde de Villaine, a joint winery founded by Larry Hyde (Hyde Vineyard) and France's Aubert de Villaine (Burgundy's famous Domaine de la Romanee Conti, or DRC). Barrel aged for 11 months on lees with 25% new French oak, the 2010 HdV Chardonnay will be a special wine to cellar. This wine was bottled without fining and filtration. 93 Points Wine Spectator: "Tight and focused, delivering a beam of lime, citrus and green apple fruit that's crisp and lively, ganing depth and a minerally nuance on the long finish. Drink now through 2013."
