95 Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2019 Pinot Noir Larry Hyde is composed of 50% Calera selection, plus a mix of Dijon clones and Pommard, sourced from the vineyards around the winery (60%) and another parcel a couple of miles to the north that's a bit warmer (40%). There's very little whole bunch employed here, but the wine is floral and cherry scented, with delicate, ephemeral herbal and sous-bois shadings. Medium to full-bodied, it features a lovely silky texture that's just pure class and a long, elegant finish.
