Tasting notes
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Winston Hill, which comes from a 25-acre parcel on their larger estate was named after their English Springer Spaniel who is pictured on the label. The wine was aged 21 months in 75% new French oak, and is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The color is a deep ruby purple, and the wine reveals beautiful pure creme de cassis, black raspberry fruit, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. It has wonderful elegance combined with intensity, power and authority. This is a beauty, and a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 25-30 years.

The 2013 Red Wine Winston Hill, from a choice parcel in Rutherford, is explosive, rich and concentrated. The rich, extracted style works well in this vintage, although the Winston Hill pushes ripeness to the extreme. Raspberry jam, cherries, cloves and kirsch are some of the notes that flow through to the ample, racy finish.
