The legend of Burgundy and President of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Conti, Aubert de Villaine partners with his cousin, Larry Hyde, affectionately crowned by the SF Gate as, “The King of Carneros“. Together they account for hundreds of 90+ scores, consistent appearances in Top 100 wines of the year list but more importantly, dozens of years of making some of the highest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in their respective countries.
Today, we have unprecedented access to the latest and greatest wine in the Hyde de Villaine arsenal, ‘Le Debut Chardonnay’ from the legendary Hyde Vineyard in Carneros. This wine is a very special nod to the way DRC’s Montrachet is typically made and likewise the ‘Debut’ Chardonnay sees only used oak barrels as well as concrete to preserve the integrity of the site and capture the inherent energy of the young vines.
If you’re a Burgundy lover, a follower of Larry Hyde or just love wines made off the legendary Hyde Vineyard (Hyde, Aubert, Ramey, Abreu, Patz & Hall, etc.) then today’s offer is extra special. This wine is never available, it’s always sold out– but for us a small tranche has been tucked away for us for an email offer.

Lots of straw, cooked apple, citrus and peach. Hints of jasmine and light vanilla cream. Full-bodied with nice layering and purity and a round, creamy texture.

The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
