Kistler Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay Carneros- 2022 (750ml)

95 points Robert Parker

After opening the 2022 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard, it opened dramatically over several days. Saline, nori, white pepper and lemon aromas slowly give way to orange peel, apricot, beeswax and floral perfume on the nose. The palate's silky texture and powerfully concentrated fruit are foiled by mouthwatering acidity, and it has a vibrant, expressive finish. That pure, delicate expression is alluring, though it will be long-lived in the cellar. - Erin Brooks

"Wow. This is really framed with fine phenolics that melt into the wine and give it such great tension and form. The flavors are full of ripe apples, honey, toasted oak and heather. Extremely long and racy. Such class. Drink after 2028, but already dreamy." - James Suckling
