Strawberries, ripe raspberries, pepper, earth tones… really good glad I have a few more bottles! — 4 years ago
7 years old and you wouldn’t know it without owning the bottle, reading the label and then, carefully calculating the math 🙃 Nothing short of remarkable. — 6 years ago

Smells like winter ❄️ menthol, apple, toasty, creamy, touch of honey on the nose. The taste lemongrass, rose petal... Gives you a silky tongue 🌹😛 — 11 years ago

Roasted pineapple, hazelnut, and a hint of citrus delivers a rebound of acidity within a rich palate. Creamy and broad with well integrated oak. — 9 months ago
Mix of dark raspberry with hint of strawberry on the nose. Bit is sweetness and slight vanilla. — 3 years ago
Superb complexity and depth. — 8 years ago
Went to a tasting and have not tasted the ‘13 in over a year, aged well, consistent notes. Dark Ruby with complex aromas of black and red fruits with herb and floral scents. From Dijon clones, palate shows a great arrangement of fruits, sweet cherry, raspberry, plum and blueberry. Aged on French Oak, this wine was well balanced, savory, lingering nicely ending with some cacao and black pepper. Aged well, has more room. Excellent!! — 9 years ago

Happy Halloween! Really starting to come around. Nice lift, minerality, really good streak of acidity, and that signature Hyde fruit. Will buy more to throw in cellar. — 11 years ago
Worth putting down. More concentration than zip. Intense pear action with a great dancing minerality. Layers of mandarin and lemony cream. Great creamy mouthfeel. If you close your eyes, you can smell the eucalyptus trees from the property. — 12 years ago
Heavy Chardonnay. Very buttery. From Bin 608 in Baltimore — 13 years ago
Special name, special occasion. Love ‘12 CA Cabs and this one especially. Surreal power for age 14. Still dense fruit, good balance but still more tilt and less finesse. Maybe better in 3-5 years but shows the heft of a well made Napa Cab. — 8 months ago
Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — 2 years ago
Juicy. Yummy. Great for price. $14. — 6 years ago
Medium bodied with zesty citrus and underripe stone fruit. Crisp, clean, and petrol-y. — 7 years ago
I’ll have the whole bottle, please. — 9 years ago
Nasty good!! — 11 years ago
2005. A house favourite and one of the best expressions of New World Riesling which exists. The late release adds both a great story but the required time to make this superb wine really sing. — 12 years ago
Could use some more aging. More spice and more bold. Not as good as the 2010 — 13 years ago

1 hour decan(decent chunky/fine sediment). A striking still dark garnet color. On the nose: Captivating notes of dark fruit, stewed meat, mushroom, eucalyptus, roasted coffee bean. Taste: silky, opulent, structured wine with dark cherry, tobacco, charred earth, currants, herbs, pepper, and a coffee-pencil lead long finish with just a touch of heat from the alcohol. YUM!! — 7 months ago
