LIBRARY - Mira Syrah Hyde 2013
Our clone 877 Hyde Vineyard Syrah gently reveals aromas of fresh berries, wild game and laurel followed by hints of cocoa, garrigue, and compote. This luscious wine is intense, concentrated and pure. It’s shy, youthful beginning slowly gives way to a structured and delicious wine that finishes and lingers with just the right amount of acidity.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Located in the Los Carneros AVA in Napa Valley, Hyde Vineyard’s East facing slopes provide ideal sun exposure when paired with the cool coastal winds that blow from San Pablo Bay through Carneros. Considered one of the superstar vineyards of the Napa Valley, the grapes from this location are perfect for crafting our single vineyard Syrah.
Vintage Notes
A very nice growing season filled with dry conditions and an extended sunny summer, 2013 delivered another excellent vintage. Optimal maturity arrived effortless but with a little higher acidity than normal. Nevertheless, the wines show great depth and personality.
