Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2012 Kistler "Hyde Vineyard" Carneros Chardonnay (94VN, 92RP, 91WS). Vinous: "The 2012 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is one of the more exuberant wine in this lineup. Orange peel, mint, butter, smoke and hazelnuts blossom in a warm, burnished Chardonnay built on pure textural depth. With time in the glass, the Hyde shows off its trademark oily, viscous texture, along with tropical-inflected notes that add an exotic flair. Hyde is always about resonance and creaminess, and there is plenty of both in the 2012. (AG)" (01/2015)

Included in this lot · 2 bottles

Provenance: Purchased directly from the winery on release and stored in a professional storage facility by a Bay area based collector. Delivered to K&L via refrigerated transit.

The 2012 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard seems to be the most laid-back, retrained and leanest of all the Chardonnays in the 2012 Kistler portfolio. Floral notes are reticent but emerge with coaxing. The wine is medium-bodied and shows good acidity as well as some tightness and restraint that may favor it among those looking for less ostentatious and exuberant styles of Chardonnay. It is well-endowed, but seems to be holding back a lot of its charm and character under a cloak of acidity. (RP)
