Caramel and butter apples honey on the nose. Initially smooth, then a tang of tart as the air and alcohol mix on the pallet. It finishes with some buttery warmth that isn't overwhelming.

I really came to like this one. The pedigree of the vineyard is unassailable & while this opened on the first day with a jumbled mix of bracing acid backed with some opulent creaminess which eventually came together and showed a lemon curd richness tamed by acidic tension. Fantastic stuff.

Another bottle to showcase why Stephane Vivier is one of my favorite winemakers and the Hyde Vineyard is one of my favorite vineyards in the Napa Valley. The 2008 is at once rich and supple and alive with vibrant acidity.
