Note di degustazione
The next vintage tasted was the 2002 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard, which was a fabulous vintage in Northern California. Aged in 70% new French oak and 100% from the three Dijon clones of Pinot Noir, this wine, relatively powerful at 14.6% alcohol, showed notes of damp earth, sweet plum, black raspberry and forest floor, in a ripe, dense, surprisingly juicy, round, full-bodied style. This wine is in great shape and will continue to evolve for another 5-10 years.

Deep red-ruby. Complex nose melds raspberry, cherry, espresso, mocha and minerals. Lush, sweet and creamy, with a captivating sappy freshness and noteworthy density. Here, too, the raspberry fruit is superripe, but there's also solid framing acidity to keep the wine fresh. Finishes with very suave, even tannins. Hall and Moses consider this their best Hyde pinot bottling to date.
