The purity of the flavors is remarkable. Bright dark fruit flowers spice mint and leather are all finely knit in a Syrah that impresses with its delineation and total class. The 2019 is such a sensual wine that it will be tempting early but I have seen these Syrahs blossom with time. I expect that will be the case here as well. Today the 2019 is incredibly primary. (Drink between 2025-2039)." 96 Points James Suckling: "Loads of lead pencil graphite blueberries blackberries and flowers on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied and very fine tannins with texture and length that caresses your palate. Shows the sophistication of syrah in Carneros. So delicious now but will improve with age." HdV is a joint family venture between Hyde Vineyards and their French cousins, Aubert and Pamela de Villaine. Hyde Vineyards has become renowned for their ability to capture the Carneros terroir, while the Villaines stand among the most recognized names in Burgundy. This Old-World meets New World charmer is a cool Carneros beauty of impressive energy and opulence with lively acidity balancing the creamy texture.
