Stewed blackberries, black raspberries, earth, anise, baking spices. Excellent acid/minimal smooth velvet tannin balance, juicy slightly silky texture, medium bodied, fruity warm spicy finish. Big fruit with the acid structure to support it. — 10 years ago

Delicate and intense at the same time. I appreciate the restraint and the quality of the fruit here is phenomenal. Smooth and silky with wild berries. This wine beckons you to come back for another sip. Patz and Hall doesn't disappoint. — 9 years ago
One of our all time favorites around the $40-50 price point. Definitely fruit forward but in no way overbearing. Notes of cherry and chocolate up front, but dissipates so beautifully and satisfyingly. — 10 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. — 10 years ago
Could use some more aging. More spice and more bold. Not as good as the 2010 — 12 years ago

I theory enjoyed this wine. It opened up fantastically and had a smooth velvety flavor. Paired with beef, rice and carrots. Plan to purchase again. Would taste better with steak or something more full in my opinion. — 6 years ago
