Patz & Hall Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay showcases a brilliant golden-yellow color.The nose is a vibrant mix of ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear, complemented by nuances of citrus zest and a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, displaying flavors of lemon curd, peach, and melon, enriched by a creamy texture and a well-integrated acidity. Notes of vanilla and toasted almond from the oak aging add complexity to the flavor profile. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit and spice. This Chardonnay is a fine example of the elegance and sophistication that the Carneros region can impart to the varietal, making it an excellent choice for both special occasions and everyday enjoyment.
