Hyde De Villaine
Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
A beautiful, Chablis-style Chardonnay from a collaboration that includes the world renowned DRC house located off the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley. The interesting component of their process with this Chard is that they move the wine back into stainless steel after aging it in new and neutral French Oak.

14.1% alc.
I love what HdV does with Chardonnay.
A recent sampling of their 2007 was equally impressive.

May 23rd, 2014Just a touch of gold in the straw color. Creamy and apples in the nose. Nice acidity with delicate balanced fruit. Long fruit finish with lingering acidity. Very nice wine elegant and not overstated. Yum! 2009 vintage.

Same Hyde grapes as Kistler and yesterday's Ramey. 2008 had nice acidic balance to the fullness. Also developed a creaminess which is beautiful.
