DuMol Hyde Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay 2017, from Napa Valley’s Carneros, is a 100% Chardonnay sourced from the renowned Hyde Vineyard’s clay-rich soils. The nose offers a vibrant bouquet of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, interwoven with flint, brioche, and subtle oak spice. The palate is full-bodied, with crisp acidity and a mineral-driven core, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of almond. Aged for 14 months in French oak (40% new), it delivers a refined, lingering finish with excellent aging potential. Perfect for pairing with grilled seafood, roasted poultry, or soft cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects DuMol’s artisanal precision and single-vineyard focus. The 2017 vintage, marked by balanced conditions, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, offering a sophisticated Carneros white for enthusiasts seeking elegance and minerality. Its harmonious flavor profile and structured finesse make it a standout choice for collectors.
