Windswept Hill is one of our signature wines, artfully crafted in the spirit of a Right Bank Bordeaux. This vintage is led by Cabernet Franc, supported by Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot. As with all our vintages, it’s made from the vineyard’s best "first fruit"—a true expression of the season. Hold your glass to the light, and you'll see a stunning, almost purple hue with a delicate garnet halo. The bouquet is luscious, offering notes of black raspberry, a whisper of butter toffee, and mocha cream. On the palate, expect that same creamy texture layered with rustic wild fruit and subtle, sophisticated softness. The finish is vibrant yet silky, with echoes of mocha and toffee that linger beautifully. This vintage is wonderfully balanced with a plush texture and soft, medium tannins that will evolve gracefully with age. As it matures, the tannins will soften even more, adding depth and elegance. Windswept Hill is a food lover’s dream. Pair it with honey-glazed pork chops, grilled skirt steak, or sautéed oyster mushrooms—each brings out new dimensions in the wine. When cooler weather rolls in, try it with Chile Colorado over cheddar cheese grits. And don’t forget the cheese board—rich, slightly sweet cheeses like Comté are a perfect match. Enjoy this wine now, or let it evolve in the cellar. Either way, you're in for something truly special.Drink now through 2033.
