Discover the 2019 Hyde de Villaine Syrah: A Masterpiece of Cool Climate Complexity
Crafted from Hyde Vineyard’s renowned grapes in California’s Carneros region, this 2019 Syrah blends elegance with bold character, offering a sensory journey for wine enthusiasts. Hyde de Villaine’s meticulous approach shines through in this limited-release bottling, which harmonizes vibrant dark fruit notes—plum and blueberry—with exotic spices like black pepper and hints of smoked meat and fresh fig. The Pacific Ocean’s cooling sea breezes shape its crisp structure, creating a sophisticated balance between rich flavors and refined tannins that linger on the palate long after each sip.

Awards & Accolades
This exceptional Syrah has garnered critical acclaim: Vinous awarded it 96+ points for its purity of flavor and potential to mature gracefully over time, while James Suckling praised its medium-to-full body and silky texture at 96 points. Wine Spectator highlighted its sleek savory profile with licorice undertones and structured tannins, recommending it as both an immediate indulgence and a candidate for aging.

Why Choose This Syrah?
Unlike warmer climate counterparts that lean into overt boldness, Hyde de Villaine’s Carneros Syrah thrives on nuance. Its cool-region origins give it a distinctive elegance—think dark berries interwoven with floral aromatics, minty freshness, and subtle leather undertones—that makes it versatile for pairing or cellaring. While delicious now, its tightly knit layers suggest it will blossom further with time in your collection.

Perfect for collectors seeking age-worthy Cabernet alternatives or enthusiasts craving complex Rhône-style wines with California flair. With 14.1% alcohol content and polished tannins framing its boldness, this bottle strikes an ideal balance between approachability today and future refinement.

Hyde Vineyard’s meticulous viticulture ensures every bottle reflects Carneros’ unique terroir—a rare find in California’s wine landscape. Whether you’re savoring it young or letting it age in your cellar, this 2019 Syrah delivers sophistication that redefines cool-climate reds from Napa Valley’s neighboring AVA.
