From alluvial soils, the 1999 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard offers flamboyant aromatics of orange marmalade, pineapple, and honeysuckle. In addition to the perfume, the wine offers superb fruit, excellent purity, and a ripe, medium to full-bodied, long finish. It tips the scales between 14 and 14.2% alcohol. It should also drink well for 3-4 years. Tel. (707) 963-4142; fax (707) 963-9713
