Patz & Hall’s 2014 Hyde Vineyard pinot exhibits impressive depth, with layered aromas of cherry and strawberry, notes of fall spice and forest floor, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Outstanding now, but a wine that would benefit from additional age and reward anyone with the patience to give it another year or two in the cellar.
