What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

Notes on the Hdv (Hyde Du Villane) Carneros Chardonnay 2006 : CONNOISSEUR'S GUIDE REVIEW: 93 POINTS Showing all of the richness and layered complexity that we have come to expect from HDV, this head-turning offering is at once fairly powerful but comes with an uncommon sense of finesse. It smells of well-ripened apples, sweet toast and wisps of roasted grains, and its deep, full-scaled flavors unfold with elements of minerals and spice lifting it above simple fruitiness. Full-bodied and slightly fleshy in feel with optimal acids affording it very fine balance, it is a serious Chardonnay read more...

Rating: 94/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 08/09 A savory white from the Hyde-de Villaine partnership, this comes from Hyde's oldest blocks of chardonnay. It includes fruit from an old Wente selection planted in 1979, and from a Calera San Benito selection planted in 1989, both dry-farmed in shallow loam soils. It has the plush richness of apple butter, cut by gingery acidity. With a day of air, the wine seems to grow fresher, its minerality and verve a seductive match for Dungeness crab.

The nose exudes intense fruit characteristics ranging from ripe peach and apricot to tropical lychee and wet stone aromas. Powerful and complex flavors contrasted by a pure and refined structure. Similar to the 2004 HdV Chardonnay, the 2006 vintage is balanced with a tense acid structure providing finesse and purity. The mouth feel is broad and seamless giving way to a serious finish. The wine expresses an abundance of Hyde Vineyard fruit while maintaining the trademark HdV minerality. Recommended pairing with a wild mushroom or seafood risotto for a balanced dining experience.
