2024 Hudson Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay

The Hudson Vineyard runs along a northern stretch of Carneros soils that are thin and rocky. As a result, these old vines struggle to produce even the most modest of crops.  After a long, 10 year wait to join the Hudson fraternity, we are pleased to be working with a grower who shares with us a common vision and dedication to quality. It was worth the wait.

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2024 Hudson Chardonnay is a wine of massive breadth and concentration, opening with intense aromas of juicy apricot, peach, and pineapple fruits. Aromas of lily, beeswax, honey, and toast add dimension to its broad-shouldered frame. On the palate, the wine is texturally rich and enveloping with flavors of ripe stone fruit, ginger-orange sorbet and almond. Finishing with a characteristic honeyed tone and waxy texture, this is a wine with undeniable immediate impact that also possesses the structural elements and fresh acidity to carry for years of graceful cellaring.
