The 2021 Pinot Noir Ygnacia Hyde Vineyard is another magnificent wine from Hyde De Villaine. Vertical deep and explosive the 2021 possesses tremendous depth from start to finish. Dark red/purplish berry fruit lavender pomegranate and spice notes are all beautifully amplified. The 2021 was done with fully destemmed fruit sourced from 2.5 acres planted in 2010 with four different selections. What stands out most is the wine's natural concentration. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2023 Hyde de Villaine is one of the most under-the-radar estates in Napa Valley its two famous founders (Larry Hyde and Aubert de Villaine) notwithstanding.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

This rather distinctive version offers a fun burst of blood orange damson plum and bitter cherry notes backed by singed clove red tea and orange zest hints that skitter throughout. There's some youthful grip to shed on the taut lively finish. Drink now through 2031. ?J.M.

James Suckling: 94 Points

Blackberry Korean bean paste plum skin forest floor rose petal and lavender aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Minerally flinty matchstick and polished. Drink or hold.
