I love hyde Pinot. This particular bottle had more than an issue. I’ve noticed their style of Pinot noir drifting into the really of high abv. Their 2018 hyde Pinot says 14.8% abv on the label, which is higher than usual for the region, the producer, and the varietal. Even so, as a producer I would hope to make a product that is able to hold whatever abv it had. This wine doesn’t. It has a burn consistently down your throat like it isn’t holding the alcohol well. Back to this bottle, I couldn’t consume more than two sips before putting the cork back in it. It had both the throat burn and a lingering burn. This would leave me to think the abv of the bottle was considerably higher than what was stated on the bottle. I’m hesitant to say the least about opening/ordering another bottle.

Silky, dry. Acidity. Woody. Vanilla. Soft red fruit. Earth lingering underneath.
