2022 "Goldberg Variations" No. 5 Chardonnay

Hyde Vineyard, 96 points

"Larry Hyde has dedicated his entire life to the viticulture at its highest level. Now his son Chris continuous this tremendous legacy.  This very fine wine comes from one of the oldest Chardonnay blocks on the Hyde Estate Vineyard in Carneros. The wine possesses complex aromatics of acacia flowers, lime zest and subtle tropical fruits. Orange blossoms flavors, velvety texture with laser-beam acidity, refreshing, energetic, electrifying. Finishing long with refined tannins. Superb." - Paul Lato

"Orchard and tropical fruits, exotic flowers, and minty herb notes all shine in the 2022 Chardonnay Goldberg Variations..., another ripe yet fresh, beautifully balanced Chardonnay in the lineup. I love its overall purity of fruit and it's hard to resist today, so I see no need to delay gratification." - Jeb Dunnuck, 96 points
