Aubert - Hyde & Sons Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay 2015

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2015 Chardonnay Larry Hyde and Sons Vineyard is simply amazing with a level of intensity that is through the roof, strutting notes of lemon oil, candied ginger, pink grapefruit and orange blossom with touches of yuzu and brioche, plus a waft of green tea. Full-bodied, finely constructed, oily and yet with tons of zing, this is simply a blockbuster and a delicious one at that."

JAMES SUCKLING: "This has a fantastic linear and bright acidity with gorgeous cream, cooked apple and pear. Full body, tangy and minerally. Lovely and intense. Drink now or hold."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Beautifully crafted, sleek, rich and deftly proportioned, this offers a racy core, tilting toward spicy green notes and flavors of honeydew and pear. Finishes with a kiss of spicy, toasty oak that captures the essence of the wine. Drink now through 2020. 1,040 cases made. — JL"
