Here’s a stunning Pinot Noir born of two legendary winemaking families – one from Burgundy (de Villaine) and one from Carneros, Napa (Hyde) – brought together through the marriage of Pamela & Aubert de Villaine.

Hyde de Villaine (HdV) is a boutique Napa winery and an intimate partnership between the de Villaine family (of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti / Domaine de Villaine) and the Hyde family (of Hyde Vineyards) forming a bridge, and deepening the bond, between their respective winemaking heritages.

The wine label bears a coat of arms for the de la Guerra family, among the earliest pioneers of winemaking in California, garnering awards dating back to 1876. The Hydes are descendants of this family; featuring the coat of arms is a tender way of paying homage to the family legacy, history, and tradition.

This particular wine is the Hyde Vineyard Ygnacia Pinot Noir 2021, made from select blocks of coveted Hyde Vineyard fruit.

It has a pristine ruby hue and pronounced aromas and flavors of wild strawberry, cherry, boysenberry, black cherry, red currant, rose water, hibiscus, licorice, wet stones, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, and clove. A crisp acidity adding vibrancy to balance the perfectly ripe expression of the fruit. It is dry with medium, fine-grained tannins, medium alcohol (13.8% ABV) and a long, elegant finish.

An all-around beautiful wine with the structure to age while remaining highly approachable and thoroughly delicious even in youth. — 4 months ago
