ADD TO CART
Sourced from our finest estate-grown Chardonnay blocks at the heart of the vineyard, this blend is beautifully balanced with a bright bouquet. Finely tuned and expressive, it showcases unique terroir-driven flavors and superb craftsman-ship.
2020 Vintage “92 Points. This subtle but deep wine offers pure Bosc pear and Gravenstein apple flavors on a medium to full body backed by gentle acidity. It’s well balanced, calm and cool, with little obvious oakiness. Best from 2024–2030.” – Jim G.
TASTING NOTES
The aroma carries inviting hints of sweet cream, mingling with the lively zest of key lime and the crisp sweetness of ripe pear. As it opens up, the wine reveals a well-rounded texture with soft, approachable tannins. Juicy stone fruit takes the lead on the palate, followed by subtle floral notes and a touch of tart pear in the mid-palate. A smooth, creamy finish lingers with a gentle hint of oak.
VINEYARD NOTES
The grapes for this bottling come from what our winemaker lovingly calls the “heart of the vineyard”; a particular area on the eastern side of the estate that he is particularly attached to, which overlaps a few different “blocks” and amazingly, when outlined in a drone photograph, is heart-shaped.
WINEMAKER NOTES
This wine is a “what if” blend. Playing with the 2019 vintage we tasted a trial or lab blend of the ten most delicious barrels of Hyde Old Wente Clone Chardonnay and fell in love.
Lighter than air, puffed up high and golden brown, it’s center still soft and molten, this is a swoon worthy dish to pair with Joy!
