DuMOL - Hyde Vineyard - Chardonnay - Napa Valley

Grapes for the 2023 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard were harvested on September 30. It has dynamic aromas: the candle smoke and matchstick characteristic of this site slowly unfurl to reveal lemon peel, peach, panna cotta and vanilla. The medium-bodied palate has a luxurious silkiness and tremendously concentrated flavors. It’s balanced by tense, shimmery acidity and has an epically long finish. Its seamless structural balance and site expression point to a long and compelling life in the cellar. 750 cases were made.
