This shows lots of flesh and richness, yet it remains very fresh and energetic. Lots of ginger and baked apples with hints of cream, lemon and lime. February 2019 release.

The 2017 Chardonnay Larry Hyde & Sons explodes from the glass with bombastic lime cordial, pink grapefruit and rhubarb pie scents with suggestions of fresh ginger, green mango and acacia honey plus a touch of praline. Full-bodied, the palate has a wonderfully savory undercurrent with brioche nuances complementing the powerful tropical fruit, framed by great freshness, finishing with epic length.

The 2017 Chardonnay Larry Hyde and Sons is pliant, open-knit and incredibly inviting. A super-relaxed, easygoing wine, the Hyde has so much to offer. Smoke, apricot, pineapple, lemon confit and white flowers are fused together in this super-expressive Chardonnay. Today, the Hudson is vivid and nuanced to the core, with tremendous aromatic presence and tons of sheer allure.
