The families, related by marriage, share long histories in French and Californian winemaking. Aubert de Villaine, married to the Hyde’s cousin Pamela F. de Villaine, is one of Burgundies most recognized individuals. As the proprietor of his own wine, A. \u0026amp; P. de Villaine, and as co-director of Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Aubert has spent his years carefully studying every nuance that might enhance his viticultural and enological practices. Born in 1945 into one of the oldest farming families, Larry Hyde came to the Napa Valley more than 40 years ago with a great love of wine and the soil. Larry got his first wine industry job as a vineyard worker at Ridge Vineyards in 1970. In 1977, Larry left his job as a cellar worker at Joseph Phelps to purchase and transform the Carneros soils into what is now known as Hyde Vineyards. Over four decades later, Hyde Vineyard has become renowned for the unique expression of its Carneros terroir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal: Syrah. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aspect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41525092352181,"sku":"","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/7101\/4325\/products\/HDVSyrah2016.jpg?v=1642009812"},{"product_id":"d-r-stephens-moose-valley-cabernet-sauvignon-2018","title":"D.

In the 2019 there is 62% of it to be precise, with 31% of Merlot, 4% of Petit Verdot and 3% of Cabernet Franc. It's a throwback which I like - compared, for example, with the Merlot-based 2018, even if it compensates the slightly lower proportion of Cabernet Franc. 'The vintage was delayed by a cool and rainy spring with flowering 10 days later than average, but the harvest finished one week earlier,' said Axel Heinz, managing director of Ornellaia. Despite the shorter growing season, 2019 was a powerful vintage with a dry and warm summer 2°C higher than the average. Ornellaia’s team defined it as 'Il Vigore', which refers to its strength. Restrained bramble fruits are enhanced by earthy tones, walnut husk and Mediterranean herbs, with a whiff of dry mushrooms and the first hint of balsamic notes. The attack is velvety with great mid-palate extraction. The tannins are very ripe and there's a refreshing acidity, but what is to be underlined is the clear cut of this wine, its woven structure and the savoury energy on the finish, typical of the climate of Bolgheri.\u003c\/em\u003e\"- Decanter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe 2019 Ornellaia is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted here. All the elements are so well-balanced. Dark and racy, with fabulous class and pedigree to burn, the 2019 is superb from the very first taste. Dark plum, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice build over time, but it is the wine’s stunning finesse that impresses most. The 2019 has the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon since the 2002.

The wine is saturated and rich—this is something you notice off the bat—but it also reveals a pleasing lightness or grace that is transmitted to both the bouquet and the palate. Dark fruit, pressed blackberry and plum mingle with more substantial aromas of spice, leather and sweetly cured tobacco.
