This is very beautiful and subtle with sliced hibiscus, dried strawberry, raspberry and lemongrass. Some volcanic undertones. It’s medium-bodied with light fine tannins and a crunchy, crisp finish. Lightly chewy. A subtle and vivid wine with sophisticated character. Own-rooted vineyards, planted in 1972. Known as the Coury clone. Rather ethereal. Drink after 2025.

Earthy with a pleasantly herbal tinge, the 2021 Pinot Noir Hyland lifts from the glass with a spicy blend of dried strawberries, cola and gingery spice. The silky texture is lifted in feel with a savory mix of red berry fruits underscored by saline minerals. The Hyland drenches the palate with primary concentration, leaving a coating of grippy tannins under an air of rosy florals. The 2021 is quite inward today but with the balance for a long and steady evolution. This hails from own-rooted vines from one of the oldest vineyards in Oregon, planted in 1972. It's one of the most well-rounded and complete wines from 00's Pinot portfolio. (EG)
