Massican "Hyde Vineyard" Napa Valley Chardonnay 2025

Owen Bargreen : 94 Points

(5/10/2026) A great new wine from this famed site, the 2025 ‘Hyde’ Chardonnay comes from this historic location in the Carneros district. It is loaded with salty minerality on the palate. Mango and pineapple notes combine with nutty and earthy nuances on the palates with shades of wet rock. The combination of weight, length and finesse is outstanding. Drink 2026-2034

Wine Spectator : 93 Points

(7/1/2026) Sleek and intense, with mouthwatering, bright, lip-smacking acidity that acts as the backbone for intense flavors of salted and preserved lemon, yellow apple, and pomelo. Freshly grated ginger, crunchy star fruit and sea salt notes add to the intensity, with touches of white tea and jasmine on the finish. Drink now through 2038. 606 cases made.

James Suckling : 95 Points

(5/20/2026) A brilliant, bracing, almost electric wine that's racy in texture, saline and mineral in flavor, and eventually rounded and creamy as it opens in the glass. Unusually high in acidity, very fresh, linear and energetic. Light-bodied at less than 13% alcohol. Drink now or hold.
