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":"cardinale-2018","title":"Cardinale 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim: 98 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate; 98pts Jeb Dunnuck. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes: \u003cem\u003eDeep garnet-purple colored, it prances out of the glass with gregarious notions of warm cassis, black cherries and wild blueberries, followed by emerging earth scents with a tobacco and garrigue undercurrent.
