2022 Heart of the Hill Estate Bottled | Red Mountain
Vineyard: 100% Heart of the Hill
Composition: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot
The oldest plantings at Heart of the Hill date back to 2006, making it a relative newcomer to our estate repertoire. Planting a vineyard is cash-intensive, which why we staggered the process, adding 20 acres each season through 2014. Since then, the site developed a powerhouse reputation on Red Mountain, cherished by winemakers and wine critics alike for deep concentration, pure blue and red fruit character, and stout tannin structure.
Our 2022 version is a modern take on a venerable classic, with Cabernet Sauvignon as the lead blender alongside Merlot (12%), and Petit Verdot (6%).
We do not vineyard-designate with reckless abandon. A vineyard-designated wine must fulfill two requirements:
1. Represent the vineyard in the best possible light.
2. Offer a compelling, distinctive departure from multi-vineyard blends.
This 2022 bottling checks both boxes emphatically; it's a true showcase that deserves to sit atop our portfolio.
