Critics have scored this as one of the top 5 Carneros wines.

Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) “The 2022 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard comes bounding out with exuberant notes of fresh Golden Delicious apples, apricots, and crunchy pears giving way to an undercurrent of wet pebbles, lime blossom, and coriander seed. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound with apple and citrus flavors and great tension, leading to a very long zesty and satin-textured finish.” – The Wine Palate
