Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Pale lemon in color with a golden hue.

Beautiful nose of citrus, lemons, apples, pears, light earth, light oak and spices.

Medium-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, apples, citrus, pears, spices, light oak, sea salt, light earth and minerals.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, complex and engaging. Tangy, soft and interesting. Feels like an upscale White Burgundy.

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is still young, but already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Good right out of the bottle, and better when not too cold.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (20% new) French oak barrels for 20 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

This wine tastes like warm California sunshine. I’d say it’s at the end of its pleasurable drinking window. Good mix of secondary/tertiary character — 17 days ago

Big polished and showing a hint of heat. Happily the oak isn’t too pronounced. For me this baby needs time. — 3 months ago

A gift from a friend, this is lovely, with a bit of tobacco on the nose and lively cherry and strawberry flavors on the palate. The finish goes on and on. — 5 months ago

A bit of the old house style, not as focused as the recent 2013. Still a reference in balance for CA. — 5 months ago

Abreu Vineyards

Madrona Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

+1 hour decant(lots of fine/cloudy sediment). A splendid still inky dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: expressive notes of dark red fruit, currants, smoked meat, tobacco leaf, scorched earth, nutmeg. Taste: silky, layered, rich wine with ripe blackberry/blueberry, earth, baking spice, chocolate, and a long minerally espresso never-ending finish. YUM!! — 4 months ago
