Stringer Cellars Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2022 750 ML
94 points - James Suckling | 93 points - Wine Enthusiast
Tasting Notes:
The 2022 Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay presents a captivating bouquet reminiscent of blooming gardenias, with delicate undertones of almond blossom and a hint of matchstick. Upon the first sip, the refreshing palate reveals a delightful fusion of Asian pear and Meyer lemon, intertwined with subtle nuances of limestone minerality and the zesty freshness of kaffir lime. This wine dances on the tongue with an enticing interplay of flavors, offering notes of orange zest and a whisper of fresh hay. Balanced by mouthwatering acidity, it exudes a lively tension that invites another sip. While already approachable, further aging promises enhanced oak integration, ensuring a rewarding drinking experience for years to come.
Vineyard:
Producing some of the most coveted grapes in Napa Valley, Hyde Vineyard has gained distinction for its single vineyard wines. Hyde Vineyard is blessed with shallow loamy soils that work in conjunction with the cool Carneros climate and the gentle winds to create moderate stress within the vines. The temperature moderating winds off the Pacific Ocean, which are channeled through the Petaluma Gap, are key in allowing for prolonged growing seasons. This extended growing season is vital to the completion of phenolic maturation, bringing both intensity and balance to the wines.
