What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

Winemakers Notes

The 2005 offering from Hyde Vineyard is a stunningly rich pinot noir with considerable backbone to complement its plumy fruit and spicy aromatics. Dark red garnet color opens to a full, satiny palate of currant, boysenberry and forest floor, with well-integrated tannins on a toasty finish. Alcohol 14.8%.
