2021 Estate Wind Swept Hill
This Windswept Hill is produced from The best Cabernet Franc and Merlot of the season. The wine is Cabernet Franc dominant followed by Merlot and just a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Once again, this wine is a superb example of the Right Bank Bordeaux style wine which has become one of the wines that helps define us at Stone Tower. The blend comes together to produce an incredibly well-balanced wine with a rich texture and gorgeous soft tannins. The nose is a mélange of black plum, red plum, blackberry, cherry, and a touch of rose petal. On the palate the wine bursts with rich ripe fruit and The incredibly well integrated tannins create a lovely rich lingering finish with a beautiful soup·çon of vanilla. The wine is nothing short of spectacular. As the wines ages, we will see more of the vanilla and some slightly earthy characteristics. This 2021 Wind Swept Hill pairs well with such a wide variety of food – duck and wild game, lamb, standing rib roast, crown roast of pork, slightly sweet cheeses such as Comte. Enjoy with rich pasta and wood fired pizza. Enjoy this wine now through 2032.
