Hudson

Seashell Chardonnay 2019

9.5

I tried this for the first time back in February when visiting the Hudson property during PNV and really liked it. Shocker, I loved it this time. Absolutely fantastic expression of Hudson fruit. Followed over two days, no change.

I love when fruit expresses where it’s from, and I feel Hudson fruit does that in spades. Such a distinctive ripe, opulent yellow fruit profile naturally. Juicy fruit jumps from the glass (pear, peaches) with honeysuckle, lemon scone, and sweet nutmeg. What separates this from the regular Hudson is the vein of acidity down the middle that has this really fresh. Waves of lemon cream, honey, tropical fruit and pink sea salt. Killer texture. Very Aubert Hudson-like. Delicious in every way. — 22 days ago

From the Hudson Caneros vineyard. 1 hour decant(decent fine/cloudy sediment). A ravishing inky dark garnet color. On the nose: black raspberry, iron, bandaids, cinnamon spice, bacon fat, forest floor, touch of smoked meat. Taste: pure, smooth, good structure can keep going wine with black cherry, orange rind, black licorice, pepper, and a earthy chocolate long finish. YUM! — a year ago

See my prior notes for the 2020 vintage. These chards are our new find and we can’t get enough of them. It’s a beauty which is displaying a heady, oily viscosity. Let this congeal for a few more years and your patience will be rewarded. — 2 months ago
