2021 From The Sky Down Heart of the Hill Vineyard
Tasting Notes
The wine opens up with a decadent combination of blackberry pie, loamy soil, sweet pea flowers and espresso shots laced with anise. The wine's full, thick texture complements its blackberry, orange zest, clove and pipe tobacco flavors, all of which are backed by fine-grained tannins.” - 98 Points, Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast
