This shows fabulous intensity and balance with layer upon layer of fruit and polished tannins

NV | HDV Hyde de Villaine 'Le Debut' Chardonnay | Carneros Oakville Winery intertwined with hints of violetPerfumed notes of jasmine and honeysuckle dance with bright aromas of orange peel and Buddhas hand. The bouquet of ripe peach dusted with cinnamon brings richness, but is juxtaposed by refreshing hints of Italian lemon ice and a hint of sea breeze. The palate is energetic and fresh while also bringing depth. Initially, the bright fruit and floral notes take center stage but lead into a pleasing baking spice texture in the finish.
