RED MOUNTAIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON
HEART OF THE HILL VINEYARD
DESCRIPTION Red Mountain is known for having incredibly warm days and cool nights, with sand and loam soils, which all in turn create some of Washington State's most intense Cabernet Sauvignon fruit and truly incredible scale and structure. The wine has a beautiful nose and great balance in the glass. It will not overpower, but rather compliment, most any protein you pair it with. It is also a wine you could certainly enjoy standalone.
In the past two years Heart of the Hill vineyard has been named Vineyard of the Year and the Williams family, Grower of the Year. With age this planting has come to produce elegantly powerful wines. This is a classic vintage for this site, with ample scale and plentiful fruit. The wine is loaded with bing cherry, a compote of blue and black fruits, black tea leaf, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. Pair this wine with olives, hard cheese, and grilled meats and you are sure to find happiness.
