The 2006 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard saw only 50% new French oak and is even slightly more potent at 14.8% natural alcohol. This wine had a rather expressive nose of cola, damp earth, blackcurrant and black cherry fruit and freshly cut mushrooms, followed by a medium to full-bodied round and juicy mouthfeel. It doesn’t have the density and length of the 2002, but it is certainly a big success. At this time, the Hyde Vineyard selections Patz & Hall utilized were taking multiple clones of Pinot Noir from this site, including the Calera selection, as well as Dijon clones 777, 667, 115 and the Joseph Swan and Pommard clones.

Moderate ruby in color with a straightforward bouquet of red fruits, spice box, and herbs, the 2006 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard is pretty, but superficial. Drink this pleasant red over the next 1-2 years. One of the most impressive Burgundian-styled negociant operations in California, the quartet of Donald and Heather Patz, James Hall, and Anne Moses continues to fine tune and improve what were already top-notch wines. Their 2006 Chardonnays represent successes for the vintage. All four 2006 Pinot Noirs are good given the vintage, but not at the level that one expects from high quality Pinot Noir producers.Tel.
