“A beautiful, rich, medium-bodied effort, the 2016 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard offers lots of strawberry and blackberry fruits, hints of rose petals, spice, and earth, a seamless texture, and terrific overall balance. It’s terrific today yet is going to evolve nicely for 2-3 years and keep for a decade.”

“This is a complex and enticing pinot with strawberry, meat, foie-gras and leather undertones on the nose. Full body, round and silky tannins and a pretty finish. A decadent and pretty young wine. Drink or hold. Limited production.”

“Aged in 35% new French oak for 13 months, the 2016 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard is medium to deep ruby-purple colored and gives up opulent notes of cinnamon stick, cloves, oolong tea and Sichuan pepper over a core of kirsch, black raspberries and black cherry tart. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with firm, fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged.”
