TheĀ 2018 HdV Hyde de Villaine 'Belle Cousine'Ā is a premium Red Bordeaux-style blend from the Hyde Vineyard in Carneros, Napa Valley. It is a collaboration between the Hyde family of Napa and the de Villaine family of Burgundy's famed Domaine de la RomanĆ©e-Conti.
This vintage is noted for its elegance and structure, leaning toward a more "Burgundian" or restrained style than many typical California Cabernet blends.
- Varietal Blend: A mix of approximatelyĀ 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. (Some sources report slight variations such as 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot).
- Aging: It was matured forĀ 22 months in about 20% new French oakĀ and aged an additional two years in the bottle before its commercial release.
- Technical Specs: The wine has an alcohol content of approximatelyĀ 14.4% to 14.5% ABV.
- Aromas: Prominent scents ofĀ cassis, black cherry, and red currant, layered with complex notes ofĀ graphite, tobacco leaves, sandalwood, and violets.
- Palate: Full-bodied but "lifted" with bright acidity andĀ granular, seamless tannins. Reviewers atĀ VinousĀ noted its "Pinot-leaning" aromatics and silky, mid-weight structure.
- Finish: Characterized by a long,Ā mineral-driven finishĀ with hints of savory black tea and spice.
