LIBRARY - 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.

94 Points - Beverage Testing Institute - "Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, plum and figs, and mint and sage with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, appealing, long finish with overtones of dried black cherry, plum, fig with anise and sage, and cocoa nibs with medium, coating, grippy, well-integrated tannins and moderate oak flavor. Big and juicy red and black fruits with nice savory herbs as a counterpoint; for lovers of Cali Pinot Noir, this is a gem."

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.
