On my last day in Napa stopped at a place,(needed reservation) HdV.
One of the servers at French Laundry said it was a must visit place. It was.
They grow on a area high above valley, but in Caneros. The soil is Clay over Bedrock..great drainage and less rain that rest of valley.
The Syrah was the most French I have had in the Valley. Upon first aromas, beef, mushroom,...incredible flavors however...NOT a fruit bomb...well balalnced.
HdV is a partership with Larry Hyde and The Villaine family of DRC ( Dom Romanee Conti)....
Anyone else here try them?
