Why We're Buying
Hyde de Villaine Californio Syrah offers a pure expression of the Hyde Vineyard and its surrounding terroir. The red wine is unfined and unfiltered, resulting in a generous palate that juxtaposes dark fruit flavors with smoked meat and earthiness. The syrah also has above average popularity among Napa Valley collectors.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2015 Syrah Californio Hyde Vineyard is pliant, supple and very beautiful, with silky tannins that push the red-toned fruit forward. This is a decidedly medium in body, restrained wine for the year. Still very primary and fruity, with pretty overtones from a touch of whole clusters, the 2015 is going to need a few years in bottle to develop the full range of its aromatics. Stylistically, this is a Syrah with Pinot-like leanings.
James Suckling
This is dense and spicy with leather, dried herbs, sweet tobacco, and dark berries. White pepper, too. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful with so much complexity and real syrah character. Wonderful finish. Drink or hold.
