94 points Robert Parker: "The 2007 Chardonnay Ulises Valdez possesses a caramelized, candied, nectarine, peach, and pineapple-like character with a smoky, hazelnut note, very good acidity, a full-bodied, powerful mouthfeel, and underlying minerality. This elegant yet substantial Chardonnay should drink well for 4-5 years." (02/10) 92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "(all Hyde selection) Pale yellow. Powerfully scented bouquet of orange sherbet, toasty lees, smoked meat and Anjou pear. Fleshy citrus and orchard fruit flavors are underscored by dusty minerals and anise. With air, this gains weight and develops a sexy floral quality that carries through the impressively persistent, smoky finish." (May/June 09) 92 points Wine Spectator: "A rich, exotic style that packs in lots of bold flavors, with smoky oak wrapped around ripe fig, melon and apple flavors. Balanced, intense and persistent. Drink now through 2012." (11/09)
