Country: US / Hyde Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Patz & Hall / Carneros
Don’t drink this Chardonnay too cold, as it needs a little while in the glass to show its stuff. Right off the bat, it’s austere, but when it airs, the tropical fruit, orange and oak complexities come out. The parts have not yet come together, though, so give it 3–4 years to develop.
