Hyde de Villaine Belle Cousine 2019 is a blend that highlights the collaboration between two notable wine-producing families. Larry Hyde of Napa Valley and Aubert de Villaine from Burgundy. The name Belle Cousine pays homage to Pamela Fairbanks de Villaine, bridging these distinct wine cultures. This vintage reflects the terroir of Carneros, showcasing the region`s unique climatic conditions. The wine presents notes of stone fruit and subtle oak, underpinned by a minerality characteristic of both Bordeaux and Burgundy.

The 2019 Belle Cousine, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from Hyde, is fabulous. Bright and focused, the 2019 bristles with energy. Strong Cabernet inflections give this mid-weight red tons of aromatic presence to match its mid-weight personality. Dark red/blue fruits, mint, blood orange, spice, leather and mocha are some of the notes that emerge over time. Like all the best wines here, the Belle Cousine offers outstanding focus, clarity and freshness. Antonio Galloni1st February 2023

The 2019 Belle Cousine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot matured for 22 months in about 30% new French oak. It has intense aromas of cassis, black plums, cocoa powder, violet and licorice. The medium-bodied palate is pure and detailed with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity nestled into its concentrated, perfumed flavors and a long, elegant finish.
