Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Succulent, elegant, and aromatic, revealing high tones of concentrated red fruit, cherry, plums, blackberry, black pepper, and a hint of toasty oak elements. Delicate, firm, and persistent with layers of dark fruit and a core of acidity that glides throughout the finish.

    Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2018 Pinot Noir Larry Hyde comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of Morello cherries, pomegranate and raspberry coulis, plus hints of roses, tilled soil and wild sage. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with intense red berry layers, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

    If we were asked to name the vineyards that lead the way in growing great wines in California, Mr. Hyde's place in Carneros would be among the leaders of that list. This winsome edition shows off the vineyard's way with Pinot, and what a fine wine it is. From its outgoing, yet still youthfully vibrant, fruit-driven aromas of ripe, slightly tart red cherries to its silky feel on the palate, it hits all the right notes. It is admittedly a little rough on the finish at present, but it has so much aging potential that we have no second thoughts about consigning it to a special nook well back in the cellar and letting it evolve for a minimum of another five years.

    Lots of ripe strawberry and blackberry fruits as well as spice and flowery incense notes emerge from the 2018 Pinot Noir, a layered, ripe, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that has terrific balance as well as length.

Hyde Estate Winery, California
Hyde Estate Winery Winery Video

Founded by Larry Hyde in 1979, Hyde Vineyards is in the heart of Napa Valley's Carneros region. Hyde Vineyards has long been hailed a grand cru-caliber site primarily known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruit, used by some of the most highly acclaimed wine producers in Napa and Sonoma. In 2009, Larry decided to debut his own small-lot production Pinot Noir project and today, the Hyde Estate winery looks out onto the acclaimed vineyards near the Carneros Highway corridor surrounded by 25 acres planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The estate features a state-of-the-art production facility and an elegant tasting room where guests are welcomed to by-appointment seated tastings of estate-grown wines showcasing several varieties made from this unique terroir.

As early as the 1970s Carneros became known as a source of terrific Pinot Noir, and was one of the first California regions to gain such a reputation. The combination of sunny days, cooling fog and thin clay soils are tailor-made for the variety. Another factor in Pinot Noir’s prominent place here is vintners’ willingness to experiment widely. The history of the grape in Carneros is marked by continuous research into clonal variations, viticultural techniques and site selection. Careful evaluation over time has revealed a signature flavor profile as well. Complex aromas and flavors of cherry, red berry, spice, earth and cola appear time and again in Carneros Pinot Noir. To this day the appellation remains one of California’s standard bearers for the variety.
