Combines focused acid, well integrated oak, and abundance of crisp yellow fruit into a harmonious wine. Not obviously from CA and to me that is it’s most charming aspect.

Classic Hyde vineyard fruit; the best descriptors are elegant and graceful. So many complex flavors reveal themselves; Tangerine rind, orange blossom, wet stones, ocean water, grapefruit pith, sour peach gummy candy, citrus oil, hints of petrol, slate, Meyer lemon. This is bright and zippy - palate cleansing acidity perfect for oysters, shellfish, and cheese. Love @Dan Petroski ‘s touch with this.
