96-98 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2021 Chardonnay Larry Hyde & Sons was tasted as a tank sample, due to be bottled in December 2022. It springs from the glass with electric scents of lemon and grapefruit juices, leading to suggestions of fresh ginger, crushed stones, and brine. The full-bodied palate delivers beautiful seamlessness, with a silken texture and wonderful lift on the long, long finish. Planted with the Corton Charlemagne clone of St Georges rootstock, this is one of the last vineyards to be harvested, hence a long hang-time. Drink: 2023-2036. (9/21/22)"

97 points James Suckling: "Yellow green color. A full-bodied and plush chardonnay with nougat, lemon, lime, hints of chalk. Ginger. Touch of raw pie crust. Vivid finish. Drink or hold. (12/11/22)"

94-96 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "The coolest of Aubert's Chardonnay sites, the 2021 Chardonnay Larry Hyde & Sons boasts lovely aromas reminiscent of melon, citrus curd and lime zest. It's full-bodied and creamy, with a silky, custardy mouthfeel and tremendous length. Drink: 2023-2030. (12/30/22)"

93-95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is creamy, ample and wonderfully expressive. Lemon confit, mint, white pepper, candid ginger, orchard fruit and a kiss of new French oak all meld together. Bright acids lend vibrancy and nuance throughout. Give this a few years to come together. There's a lot of intensity, but the elements aren't fully integrated. Drink: 2024-2033. (Jan 2023)"

Producer notes: "The 2021 Larry Hyde & Sons is a classic representation of Carneros terroir. Concentrated aromas of crystallized ginger, sweet alyssum, and white nectarine are framed by an electric streak of citron peel. The palate seamlessly weaves sweet, spring florals together with caramelized stone fruit and lemon oil. Chalky minerality and fresh acidity balance the full-body and rich texture for a finish that lingers for minutes on end. Enjoy over the next 10 to 15 years."
