Tasting note: Remarkable for its delicacy, finesse, grace and nuance, medium- to full-bodied, with complex pear, fig, hazelnut and melon flavors that gain depth and nuance, ending with a subtle mix of complex flavors. (93pts. JL, Wine Spectator)

Tasting note: Bright yellow. More leesy complexity on the nose than the Hyde & Sons is showing today, along with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, baking spices and green tea. A step up in richness and depth, but with captivating lemony lift to the glyceral flavors of beeswax and pear. Finishes long and suave, with firm acids giving the wine excellent grip and lift. (95pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Tasting note: Even greater acidity is present in the 2008 Chardonnay Lauren Vineyard. The tightest, most backward of this quartet, it exhibits surprisingly high acidity as well as remarkable concentration and extract. Again, it reveals a liquid minerality intertwined with citrus oil, orange blossom, and brioche notes. Like its siblings, this sensational white wine should last for a decade or more. (96-99pts. Robert Parker)
