I absolutely love their Chards.
I initially blind-guessed this as a Puligny-Montrachet (and second guessed it as a Batard).

Such a wonderful surprise...
Explosive nose of honeysuckle and pineapple.
The palette has a distinct Viognier signature, which is extravagant. My close French friend questioned if this chard was blended with Viognier? Who cares, it's just stand-out. Excellent balance of acidity, texture and delicate sweetness. One of the best white wines we have tasted.
A gift from my good friend Santa @Martin G Rivard. We will not forget this. Thank you!

Crazy-good and lengthy finish of tangerine, orange blossom, white peach, and crisp minerality. Rich texture with brights acidity. SO GOOD with roasted vegetables and quinoa. #2013 #chardonnay #hydevineyard #hdv #sommlife

Opened with THE Chairman of the board for the Palm Beach Wine Auction and my beautiful wife and unfortunately it was corked! Very disappointing as this Chardonnay is one of the best in Napa. Truly insane pedigree. Oh well., we'll get em next time as they say. 🙃
