title: Merryvale 2009 Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros)
description: The vineyard is a great one, but this Chardonnay tastes way too oaky. It's swamped by buttered toast, vanilla and butterscotch flavors that barely give the underlying pineapple and lemon fruits a chance to express themselves.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Hyde Vineyard
