DuMOL Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay Los Carneros

California

Los Carneros

The 2021 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard needs quite a bit of coaxing to unlock notes of ripe yellow apples, grapefruit oil, orange peel, and juicy peaches, leading to wafts of wet slate, shaved ginger, and almond croissant. The medium-bodied palate has super-charged intensity, delivering layer upon layer of citrus, stone fruit, and mineral flavors with a silky texture and laser-precise acidity, finishing with incredible length and so many citrus and mineral sparks. This is phenomenal Chardonnay! These Hyde Vineyard vines were planted in 1986. "Hyde were the first to do custom growing and they do it so well," commented DuMOL's winemaker, Andy Smith. "The shoot growth in 2021 was very low and the yields were down from a typical 21 barrels to 17 barrels. But I believe this is the best quality is the best they've ever had from here." I agree. For number crunchers, the pH is 3.38, and ABV is 13.7%.

The 2022 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard soars from the glass with classic scents of lime blossom, grapefruit oil, lemon tart, and struck flint plus nuances of sea spray and chalk dust. The medium-bodied palate is super intense, with a racy backbone cutting through the dense citrus layers, finishing long and minerally.
