The black raspberry compote nose of the 2021 Hillside Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon blasts out of the glass with complete and total abandon. This belies the velvety smooth structure that relaxes out on the mid-palate. This truly is the filet mignon of our Cabernets. Its rich fruit flavors oscillate in and out, showing bright acidity notes juxta - posed with the sweet juiciness of farmer’s market produce, copycat - ting the complex flavors of a black pepper and white balsamic fruit salad. The finishing touch, as with all savor symphonies such as this, is just the right amount of savory spice to round out the concerto. In this case, it is the hint of star anise on the finish that piques the audience member’s interest and lends an air of restraint to the otherwise ostentatious display of riches.

Our 2021 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.

  • Nose is reminiscent of dried rose petals
  • Red currant fruit in 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
