The Larry Hyde and Sons perfectly showcases the richness of the vintage, with flashy aromas of fresh yellow peach and citron oil leaping from the glass. Wildflower honey, marmalade, and lemongrass notes add layers of floral complexity and sweetness reflective of its Carneros terroir. A rich, oily mouthfeel is perfectly balanced by a refreshing streak of acidity that lingers across the palate.
James Suckling: 97 Points
There’s so much sliced lime and green apple with hints of toasted oak and salt water taffy. Full-bodied with a solid texture and well-integrated phenolics that give such great length and focus. Fluid and so attractive on the palate. A Corton Charlemagne clone. Delicious now, but will show more complexity with age.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
From a block planted to a selection from Corton-Charlemagne, the 2022 Chardonnay Larry Hyde & Sons delivers aromas of honeyed citrus and complex spice notes—even a hint of ginger—plus notes of melon and pear. It's medium to full-bodied, plump, generous and expansive on the palate, then pulls itself together and tightens up on the finish.
