2023 Aubert Wines Chardonnay Larry Hyde and Sons Carneros
Regular price $199.98
94-96 Vinous - The 2023 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is super-refined and polished. This was the last pick in 2023. Apricot, dried pear, chamomile, mint, tangerine peel and lightly honeyed notes all grace this exquisite, nuanced Chardonnay.
The 2023 Larry Hyde & Sons Chardonnay emphasizes its sophisticated minerality and laser focus. On the palate, sweet bosc pear and crystallized ginger mingle with savory, soil-driven chrysanthemum, narcissus, and orange blossom florals. The palate unfurls in waves of orchard fruits and lemongrass, with a flinty minerality and acid backbone culminating in a long, pure finish. The complex, savory profile of this wine will continue to morph and expand well beyond a decade in the cellar, promising many years of excitement to come. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking. - Winemaker notes
