Score 95/100 · Drink 2024-2030, Jeb Dunnuck, Jul 2023
The first of a short vertical from the Hyde Vineyard, the 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen's tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.
