From the cool climate of Carneros, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Hyde Vineyard exhibits complex notes of smoke, camphor, barbecue spices, black currants and sweet cherries. Medium to full-bodied and elegant, it is the most feminine and Bordeaux-like of this impressive quartet. Drink by 2035.94 points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateWinery notes: Brilliant, black/blue color. Vibrant aromas of black cherry, cassis, and nutmeg. The lively, ripe fruit flavors are interwoven with licorice and black pepper. This wine is rich, full-bodied, with smooth, polished tannins and a very lengthy finish. Alcohol 14.5%
