2020 Hillside Reserve Red Wine
Share
The 2020 Hillside Reserve Redwine is a bouillon of Bordeaux varieties. 85.41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.13% Merlot, .47% Cabernet Franc, 4.71% Petit Verdot and .28% Malbec. Similar to the chateau wines after which it is modeled, the nose is reminiscent of dried rose petals, while the texture of the palate is long, linear and focused. The red currant fruit in the mid-palate is coupled with an aromatic reminiscent of the terrain of the Paris to Roubaix bike race. Held in mid-April, the race can feature damp earth, hot asphalt, slippery cobblestones, or a combination of any of the three. The mid-palate comes to a succinct finish with the juice of a French plum blended with a hint of hickory and reduced to a decadent barbecue sauce. Forgive us if your mouth is watering for some ribs right about now

Our 2020 Hillside Reserve Red Wine is a top-tier, full-bodied wine with a complex and intense flavor profile. Expect bold and rich flavors of dark fruit, such as blackberry, cassis, and black cherry, with a hint of spice and toasty oak from its possible high-quality oak barrel aging. The wine’s high tannins and long finish make it a great pairing for rich and flavorful dishes, such as a perfectly grilled bone-in ribeye steak. The wine’s bold flavor profile is complemented by the peppery and spicy notes of an arugula salad and contrasted by the creamy and comforting flavors of garlic mashed potatoes.
