Tasting Notes
“In the nose, dark Hudson cherry and rhubarb work in harmony with characters of savory lavender and thyme accented by a hint of Oolong tea. Enticing flavors of fresh strawberries and bergamot flirt with notes of pink peppercorn and a hint of apricot blossom. The soft, supple tannins and bright acidity make this wine approachable in its youth but also sets the stage for future aging. A more feminine expression of the Carneros region.” — Guillaume Boudet, Winemaker
Dried raspberry and strawberry with bark and black tea on the nose. Medium to full body and firm, silky tannins. Stone and salt-cube undertones. Savory finish. Turns rich and decadent at the end. Drink or hold.
The 2018 Pinot Noir Ygnacia Hyde Vineyard is stellar. Crushed red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, rose petal and spice all soar out of the glass. Effusive and silky, with tremendous presence, the Ygnacia is a real charmer. Readers will have a very hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine.
