This wine is both extremely rich and super supple, with fine-grained, mouthfilling tannins, balanced oak and an intriguing dusty quality. The aromas are alluring and sophisticated, offering layers of raspberry, cranberry, blueberry, sassafras, milk chocolate, cinnamon, clove and cassis. A classic expression of Hyde vineyard—powerful, elegant and intricate.

Accolades

• 94 Points | “Deeply hued, this is an amazing Pinot Noir that shows off the richness and depth of the 2009 vintage in California. The aromas and flavors come in waves of raspberry, blueberry, cranberry sauce, cinnamon spice, white chocolate and anise. The plush, velvety mouthfeel is seductive, and the spiced berry fruit lingers. This wine — crafted from grapes grown in three small blocks within the Hyde Vineyard in the Carneros AVA — can hold its own with a variety of foods, from roast duck and game to salmon and seared rare ahi tuna.” - Glen Fredericksen
