Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008
Bright gold with green highlights. Intense, floral-accented pear skin and cherry pit aromas are complicated by iodine, dusty minerals and cured meat. Extremely complex on the palate, offering a wild array of dried fruit, mineral and herb flavors, a chewy texture and remarkable energy. Leaves a strong note of gingerbread on the long, sappy finish. This is all Hyde clone, according to Hunter.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2007-2010, Robert Parker, Dec 2007
Lemon, peach, crushed rock, toasty oak, and tropical fruit characteristics emerge from the full-bodied, expressive, flamboyantly aromatic 2005 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard. This sensual, seductive, super-intense, pure effort should drink well for 2-3 years. Tel. (707) 829-1941
