Hyde de Villaine (HdV)
Pinot Noir, Ysabel, Sonoma Mountain – 2012

Complex and balanced, red fruit, floral and earthy notes arise from the glass. An elegant entry leads to a lively freshness and minerality that harmonize with the flesh of the wine. Soft, elegant tannins complement intense fruit on the mid palate.

This is very exciting with cassis-bush and plum character and very pretty rose-stem and leaf undertones. Full-bodied, layered and focused. Solid. Try after 2021.

Silky and creamy, with gorgeous texture, the Hyde shows all of the richness this site is known for yet retains terrific energy and verve as well. Bright floral and mineral accents perk up the pear, lemon confit and light tropical fruit.
