The grapes for this blend come from our favorite blocks of Chardonnay, literally at the heart of the vineyard. Beautifully balanced, with a bright bouquet, this is a finely tuned wine that exemplifies our fruit and our craftsmanship.

Customer Reviews

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.

WINE ENTHUSIAST

Profile


TASTING NOTES

Vanilla, Myer lemon, and red apple dominate the nose. Stone fruit on the front palate, with, with honeysuckle and green apple in the mid-palate. Creamy and smooth with a hint of oak on the finish.


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!
