Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2016 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is another wine that is positively stellar. All of the personality of Hyde comes through loud and clear. Tangerine, spice, chamomile, dried flowers, butter, hazelnut and lightly tropical notes all run through this super-expressive Chardonnay. Ample, creamy and resonant to the core, the Hyde is a winner from DuMol.

The 2016 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is a fabulous example of this site. Creamy and ample, with tons of textural resonance, the Hyde is stellar today. A touch of botrytis amplifies the natural intensity of the Wente Clone Chardonnay. Almond, tropical fruit and buttery notes infuse this super-expressive, inviting Chardonnay from Du Mol and Andy Smith.
