“beautiful, impeccably made Chardonnay that readers will love.” - Jeb Dunnuck

Patz & Hall + Hyde Vineyard is the formula. Factor our price into the equation and you get an irresistible pull calling you to add as many to your Locker as you can. We’re down to the last dozen or so cases of this, so don’t miss your chance…

Always spectacular, bred from one of the best vineyards in the world, and as classic an example of California Chardonnay as you can find.

Robert Parker declares that “Patz & Hall has a long and enviable track record, making Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from some of the very finest single vineyards in Northern California. They rarely miss a beat, and the wines are sure bets.”

Then we have the HYDE factor. There’s a good reason why San Francisco Chronicle calls Mr. Hyde the “King of Carneros.” No other vineyard in America has a Domaine de la Romanée-Conti partnership. Plus, a who’s who of the greatest Pinot and Chardonnay producers clamor for Hyde fruit and there’s no doubt it’s one of the absolute best sources.

So, what’s it like? Front-loaded with ripe creamy citrus, like lemon meringue or something. All kinds of white flowers, apricots, buttery croissants, vanilla, and a wonderful minerality. Flawlessly balanced and definitely NOT your one-dimensional butter bomb. But it should please just about anyone, from those who crave that full-throttle, buttery style to others who want a more precision-focused, Burgundian direction in their Chardonnay.

Yes, sometimes there really can be too much of a good thing, but NEVER WITH HYDE!

93 Points – Wine Spectator

“The 2018 vintage is elegant, yet powerful and displays classic Hyde Vineyard traits of delicate white flowers, tangerine zest, and lemon cream. On the palate the wine is citrus-driven with orange and lemon flavors along with hints of toasted almond and vanilla. The wine has great acidity that leaves a white chalk/mineral note on the very long finish.”
