Winemaker Notes
The 2020 HdV Ygnacia Pinot Noir offers a complex aroma of French plums, black cherry, cola, menthol, and bergamot tea, intertwined with rose petal and savory spice notes like white pepper. The wine is characterized by its precision, concentration, and minerality, with smooth, fine tannins providing structure and leading to a balanced palate with flavors of red and black fruit, spice, and a refreshing acidity.
About Winery
HDV Winery, or Hyde de Villaine, was founded in 2000 through a partnership between the Hyde family of Napa Valley and the de Villaine family of Burgundy, brought together by the marriage of Pamela de Villaine (Larry Hyde's cousin) to Aubert de Villaine. The venture produces single-vineyard wines from the esteemed Hyde Vineyards in Napa's Carneros region, blending Old World Burgundian techniques with New World Californian fruit through a philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for terroir.
