title: Davies 2013 Hyde Vineyards Pinot Noir (Carneros)
description: Hyde has figured into the producer's sparkling wine production for years, but this marks Davies' first release of still Pinot Noir from the stellar site. It opens with tangy acidity and a bite of tropical citrus along with black tea before unveiling substantial underlying tannins and plenty of contained power. A ripe trace of cherry and raspberry lurks along the background, peaking on the finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Hyde Vineyards
