Wine By Nine

White Wine by HdV from Carneros, California. Our young vine 2006 De La Guerra Chardonnay shows an intense nose of mineral and stone fruit, with a bouquet of grapefruit and fresh cantaloupe. The initial taste of steel and minerality on the mouth is carried through by a round and refreshing mid-palate. While elegant, this wine exhibits a vivacious core of mineral notes along with hints of peach and pear. The finish exudes the qualities of young vine Chardonnay from Hyde Vineyard: purity, minerality and brightness. These three characteristics unite for a lengthy, balanced finish.
