Cranberry / sour cherry. Medium bodied. A bit of spice on the finish & more acidic than I would have though. But still very enjoyable. Got better after it opened up while drinking the bottle.

Medium bodied with lots of cherry and cranberry flavors. Nice and tart with a spicy finish. This was my last of 3 bottles. 1st was just as good, the 2nd was terrible, over oaked and harsh. Had it six months or so ago. Glad it was just a bad bottle.

Solid wine but not as concentrated as the Hobbs Hyde. Vibrant nose of cranberry, wood, spice and minerals. On the palate it is integrated and the acidity allows for this wine to pair well with a variety of food. Medium finish and drink now - 2014.

Now this is a pinot -- smooth, refined, fruit up front.

Splash decanted. Great nose of cherry and vanilla. On the taste the cherry becomes acidic, more like cranberry. There is a spicy hot finish.

Minneapolis Wine Club: Cali Variety Pack with Ridge, Barnett, Pride Hobbs and more (Tracy's, Mpls): Dark red color. Splash decanted. Drank one glass over 20+ minutes. Nose is nice, showing dark cherries, cranberry, spice, metallic. The palate is medium light, cherry, very tart, tannic, spicy. This was a bit of a let down on the palate after a promising nose, a bit acidic and a bit thin.

Rich nose of Cedar and cloves. Lovely fruit. The finish lingers. Very nice.

Another outstanding vintage from Patz & Hall with the wonderful fruit of Hyde Vineyard. Bright fresh berries with a lasting finish....remarkable..

Delicious wine with medium body and good complexity. Dark cherry and spice notes with a hint of cloves and herbs.

Light entry of cool & structured red cherry that flows into a very structured finish. This needs some bottle age to come around.
