HDV Hyde and De Villaine Red Wine Carneros Napa Valley 2003
94 points from Wine and Spirits: "Oak enhances the lean texture of Carneros merlot, without obscuring the scents of red fruit and earth. The wine’s high notes of cherry contrast an elegant, chanterelle-like savor, a compelling balance with cool, earthy tones that last." (2/07)
92 points from Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine: "A refined and polished Merlot, this one smells of tight, still developing red cherry fruit buttressed by very rich, creamy oak. It is fairly full and extremely well-balanced on the palate, and its opening lushness is quickly met by firming acidity towards the back. Drinking it now would certainly work out well, but this is a wine that will unfold into a lot better over the next several years." (3/07)
