Enveloping and inviting aromas of red delicious apple, black cherry, Earl Grey tea and potting soil speak to the great terroir of the Hyde Vineyard. The palate holds an elegant stance with a moderate level of tannin extraction, concentrated dark fruit and a lithe finish. Yet the overall intensity is high, and the length shows fruit richness and refined spice.

Below-average rainfall during the winter months was mitigated by the heavy rains in March and April. A sustained heatwave in August accelerated ripeness, leading to a compressed harvest. The 2022 wines are shaping up to be exceptional, with delightful fruit profiles, acid structures, and concentration. It’s a vintage that captures the essence of the terroir, promising wines that are vibrant, complex, and true to their vineyard origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePurchased by Larry Hyde in 1979, and planted two years later, this renowned property is cultivated as 44 distinct blocks, and includes a veritable who’s who of the finest Pinot Noir clones.
