HDV SYRAH CALIFORNIO '14   

Hyde du Villane 2014 Syrah "Californio", Hyde Vineyard, Carneros

A tribute to California's early winemakers, this Syrah offers the textbook Carneros combination of cool weather spice, dark fruit, sinewous texture and firming minerality. Black raspberry, dark sour cherry, pomegranate molasses and dark forest earth scents are all notable on the rich mid-palate and through an equally rich finish. Delicious now, it should yet improve.
