Tasting Notes
Our Hyde Vineyard gem reveals espresso, charcoal and violets followed
by waves of salty caramel, boysenberry and licorice. Youthful restraint surrenders to
graphite, roasted and sanguine meats, while hints of white pepper accompany the
palate through a long and winding finish.
Vineyard Notes
2010 saw heavy spring rains and cool spring temperatures that
persisted through May. Budbreak consequently was delayed but favorable weather
returned in June just in time for bloom and fruit set. Cool summer days, random heat
spikes and early autumn rainfall contributed to a long growing season that provided
ripe fruit while maintaining acidity, structure, and varietal typicity.
Winemaker's Notes
Four-day cold maceration followed by seven days of fermentation. Daily delesatage in addition to pumpovers during active fermentation at 88°F. 20 days total vat time followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel. Aged for 20 months in 100% French oak barrels (5% new, 95% 10 years old)
