"(75% new oak; half from Hudson and half from Hyde vineyards; this bottling was previously offered in 2009 and 2007): Hazy straw-yellow. Sexy toasty lees complement peach, hazelnut, spices and flowers on the rather Burgundian nose. Rich, ripe and smooth but with a firm edge of lemony acidity giving shape and thrust to the rather glyceral middle palate. Ultimately quite backward and in need of time in bottle; this struck me as a firmer version of the Hyde Vineyard bottling. Finishes with very good mineral lift."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
