The dense purple-colored 2001 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard, made from the Pommard and Swan clones, offers up a sweet perfume of lavender, blue and black fruits, and jammy cherries. The oak is nicely soaked up by this full, fleshy, sexy Pinot Noir. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years.

Score: 92 (100 possible)
A tremendous wine, brimming with ripe, rich, fleshy Pinot Noir aromatics and flavors, with tiers of black cherry, blackberry and wild berry, lots of spice and hints of fresh earth and cedar. Drink now through 2009. 903 cases made.
