Score 93/100 · James Laube, Wine Spectator, Jul 2012

Rich without being weighty, with intense smoke, spice, nectarine, peach and pear notes that are fresh and vibrant. Gaining depth, ending with a citrusy aftertaste. 660 cases made.

Score 93/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2012

The 2010 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard blossoms from the glass with tangerine, lemon, spices and butter. It shows gorgeous minerality and freshness that balances some of the wine's more overt tendencies. Crushed rocks, lemon peel and mint reappear on the textured, large-scaled finish.
