Mira Pinot Noir Hyde & Sons 2014
Introducing itself as unmistakably Pinot Noir, this wine’s classic Burgundian nose of sage and mountain herbs gives way to a more subtle expression of floral perfume as it evolves in the glass. On the palate it delivers bright red fruit – think pomegranate – flavors that give way to accents of warm spice and wood with a structure that will continue to evolve for years in the cellar.

Tasting Notes
Introducing itself as unmistakably Pinot Noir,
this wine’s classic Burgundian nose of sage
and mountain herbs gives way to a more subtle
expression of floral perfume as it evolves in the
glass. On the palate it delivers bright red fruit
– think pomegranate – flavors that give way to
accents of warm spice and wood with a structure
that will continue to evolve for years in the
cellar.
Vineyard Notes
Located slightly to the west of Hyde Vineyards
on the south side of the Carneros Highway,
the Hyde & Sons Vineyard is home to the Hyde
Estate Winery where the Hyde Family produce
their own estate wines. This Pinot Noir was
planted in 2009 using a unique, hand-propagated
clone sourced from one of the most coveted
vineyards in Burgundy and is extremely limited.
Winemaker's Notes
Five day cold maceration followed by 14 days of
fermentation. A combination of daily pigeage
and pumpovers during time on the skins maxing
out at a fermentation temperature of 88°F.
20 days total vat time followed by malolactic
fermentation in barrel. Aged for 24months in
100% new French oak barrels.
Other Notes
The 2013/14 season was one of the driest on
record. Though rainfall was about half of normal,
we received quite a bit of rain in February and
March, enough to hold us over for the rest of
the season. The warm Spring and dry summer
resulted in smaller grapes, which typically means
a higher degree in flavor concentration and
yielded another excellent vintage.
