Mira Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard 2018
Interesting to note on this 2018 vintage of our Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard we used a new clone in addition to the Calera clone this time incorporating the Beba clone. This Pinot opens with a super balanced nose and the palate welcomingly is one and the same. Smoky and nutty with hints of tobacco tea and a backsplash of oak. Silky finish making this a decadent and certain crowd pleasing Pinot.
"This is fresh and vibrant with notes of crushed ripe red berries, cherry chocolate, spicy herbs and plum skins. Medium-bodied, textured and polished with fine tannins and a sleek, chocolaty finish. Drink now." -- 92 points, James Suckling
"Dusty garnet color. Interesting, meaty, smoky aromas and flavors of marinated roasted beets, minestrone, cherry butter on toast, and singed blueberry pastry with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, engaging, long finish manifesting notes of mocha yogurt nuts with chewy tannins and light oak flavor. An intriguing meaty and savory Pinot Noir that will be great to pair with BBQ.” -- 92 points, Beverage Testing Institute
