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
: 2011 was a vintage that required patience, adaptation and know how. We experienced 1/3 more rainfall than usual that lasted into June followed by a very cool summer. The effect was a slow growing season that ended in one of the latest harvests on record; harvest that was marked by rain at the peak of the harvest season. Early ripening varieties excelled however as they were not victims to the late season rain while later ripening varieties the classic characteristics they are known for the world over.
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)
