Double decant and pour. A striking dark ruby red color. On the nose: brambly cherry, forest floor, raspberry, clove, dried herbs. Taste: smooth, creamy, rich, juicy wine with sweet cherry, cedar, orange rind, earth, and a peppery strawberry medium finish. YUM! — 21 days ago

Broad fruit.Some tertiary stuff. Citrus confit. Poached pears. Coconut. Plenty of acid keeps it fresh. 14.1 maybe a touch hot on the finish if I’m bring a critic, but this is complex and delicious. Hits its stride with an hour of air. // edit: left 200ml in the bottle overnight in the fridge. Still delicious on day two but definitely verging oxidized and better yesterday. Drink up. — 4 months ago

Wonderful Chardonnay from grapes grown at Hyde Vineyard in Carneros (vines planted in 1979). Lemony acidity and green apple with some almond and vanilla bean on the finish from the subtle oak. Very balanced, a little oily. Medium bodied at 12.8% abv. Had it with spicy stewed mixed beans and arugula-radicchio slaw in oregano lime vinaigrette. — 3 months ago

Deep amber color showing its age. Palate is heavy on secondary aroma characteristics including hazelnut, toffee, and resin. This is one of the last of the Hudson’s Patz & Hall made and I would drink up! — 2 months ago
