The 2018 vintage is probably one of the best, if not “THE” best ever! Astonishing quality, but as always very small quantities. I am very excited about the ADDITIONS of the new Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Paul’s ever-expanding portfolio! If Hyde’s vineyard would be located in Burgundy, it would for sure carry the Grand-Cru or Premier Cru designation – either way the source is top-notch, as are Paul’s latest additions.
You are probably saying, what Paul Lato in Napa…. Yes, Larry Hyde has been a big fan of Paul Lato and vice versa. So it was only a matter of time until Paul would source from this California Premier Cru vineyard. This is its Inaugural release!

This stunning Paul Lato Hyde Vineyard offers up a basket full of aromas that jump out of the glass. The wine is loaded with tons of dark red fruit, spices, a hint of mixed herbs, and licorice. This bold, lush youngster is loaded with class and pedigree and tons of generous fruit that is balanced with the right touch acidity. The lush flavors of this remarkable wine lead smoothly into a textured, silky finish.
Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points: ”All destemmed & brought up in plenty of new oak (80%), the ruby/plum-hued 2018 Magic Moments Hyde offers up a ripe, perfumed bouquet of Bing cherry, blood orange, violets, black tea, & forest floor. This silky, medium to full-bodied effort brings plenty of sweet fruit, yet it stays light, elegant, & flawlessly balanced.”

The 2018 vintage is probably one for the history books!. The wine is very refined and expressive, with ripe citrus aromas, and a deep core of rich pear and honeydew melon flavors that bring fantastic complexity. The finish is filled with a touch of butter, a hint of toasted hazelnut and refreshing acidity.
Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points: “From the cooler Carneros region of Napa Valley, the 2018 Goldberg Variations Hyde Vineyard is another Chardonnay that’s up with the crème de la crème of California. Lots of ripe peach and nectarine fruits, subtle tropical notes, plenty of spice and brioche, medium to full-bodied richness, and a juicy, lengthy finish all make for a killer wine to enjoy over the coming 5-7 years.”
