So well layered, vibrant and delicious, with rich, ripe fruit complemented by lemon curd, flint and baking spices. Generous and full-flavored yet beautifully balanced, with vivid acidity, minerality and a refreshing sense of restraint.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate 95
Elegant and expressive, with quince and white peach alongside matchstick, elderflower, Greek yogurt and crème brûlée. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and silky, with vibrant acidity, nuanced flavors and a very long, elegant finish.

Vinous 95
Classy, polished and refined, with lifted aromas of orchard fruit, lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint, white pepper and acacia. An especially elegant expression of Hyde Vineyard with beautiful finesse.
