DuMOL Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay, Carneros, 2016

Before 2016 'Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay' was known as 'Clare Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay'

Producer tasting notes: "Gleaming with a pale gold straw color, notes of lemon curd, honeyed apple and white peach dominate, alongside cedar and nutmeg, caraway seed and truffle. This wonderful integration of fruit and savory characteristics carries through seamlessly from aroma to palate. It’s a sophisticated wine, pure and powerful with obvious vineyard-driven density, extract and inner depth. The finish is long with an underscore of earthy lees, oatmeal and spearmint." - DuMOL Winery LLC
