Aubert Chardonnay Carneros Larry Hyde & Sons 2020

96 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "A cool, late-harvest site relative to Aubert's other sources, the 2020 Chardonnay Larry Hyde & Sons also sees a bit less new French oak (50%). Readers will note that the oak made virtually no impression on me, as the wine bursts with aromas of ripe, honeyed melon, balanced by bright lime notes. Full-bodied, creamy and lush on the palate, this is just a pleasure to drink, finishing long and zesty. Drink: 2022-2033. (Dec 2022)"

96 points James Suckling: "A big and juicy white with cooked apple, pear, honey, and mineral. Flint. Full and layered with a flavorful and delicious finish. Drink now. (12/11/22)"

Producer notes: "The 2020 Larry Hyde & Sons bursts from the glass with a spectacular bouquet of chamomile tea, lime blossom, fresh ginger, lemon marmalade, and lavender honey. The entry is silky and smooth with layers of citrus oils and nuances of chalky gravels and oyster shell. This is a sophisticated wine braced with the energy and drive to deliver a decade or more of drinking pleasure. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking."
