Product Description
Hyde de Villaine Belle Cousine 2016 blends Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from 22-year-old vines at Hyde Vineyard, aged in French oak under winemaker Stéphane Vivier's barrel-by-barrel selection before final blending. This Bordeaux-style red from the team behind HdV's flagship Chardonnay suits Napa drinkers seeking a structured, savory red with Burgundian restraint over riper, fruit-bomb Cabernet blends.
Black and red currant lead the nose, with sweet basil, black pepper, cassis bud and thyme framing dark chocolate, cherry and sweet earth. Fresh violet and graphite unfold with air, while supple tannins and bright acidity carry through to an extended, robust finish.
