Patz & Hall Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

$54.95

Another beauty from the Chardonnay masters at Patz & Hall - sourced from the Hyde Vineyard made famous by Kistler! Hyde Vineyard has justifiably become one of the superstar vineyards in Carneros. The Patz & Hall 2012 Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay is perhaps the most sought after fruit in the pantheon of great California vineyards. 92 Points Robert Parker: "The 2013 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard (1,100 cases produced) is made from the Hyde-Old Wente clone. From sandy, clay, loam soils, it offers up aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, delicate pineapple and subtle oak. Medium to full-bodied with great acidity as well as beautiful purity and freshness, it should drink nicely for 5-7 years, perhaps longer...Patz and Hall has long been a model for how to run a high-quality négociant business, buying fruit from top vineyards and crafting it into wines that can compete with the finest from estate vineyards.."

Less zippy, but wonderful concentration and salinity. Rued & Hyde showing particularly well.

Cloudy with sedimentation in the bottle. Bright straw color in the glass with hints of crushed stone and island fruits on the noise. Fresh acidity on the taste as well as nectarines, papaya with a touch of oak. Long lingering finish. Paired with Cypress Grove Midnight Moon Goat Cheese.

Happy Halloween! Really starting to come around. Nice lift, minerality, really good streak of acidity, and that signature Hyde fruit. Will buy more to throw in cellar.
