The 2017 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is one of the deeper wines in this range, and yet it, too, is compact. More than that, though, the Hudson signatures just don't come through when the fruit is picked this early. Apricot, tangerine, dried flowers, honey and chamomile develop in the glass, but the 2017 lacks character, in my view. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2019)

They thought the wine was a typical Hudson type delivery - bolder than many chards and fruit forward like I would have liked but of course it empty bottle licking time for - man can these ladies pick their medicine and wash it down but suggest staying out of their way when they are on their mission. 😂😮

13' Failla Hudson Vineyards. One of my favorite vineyards for producing Chardonnay. The front of the palate is a little bit of a miss. What it's lacking in the front, it certainly makes up in the mid & back of the palate. A medium bodied chard. Palate- Creamy tangerine, peaches. Lightly buttered & caramelized flavors. Moderate spices throughout the palate. Nice Chardonnay.

July 4th wine. I want to like their Chardonnays but I find them overrated and heavy handed across the board.
