Winston Hill

2014 Rutherford

$200

Deep purple in color, this is a profoundly beautiful wine, powerful yet focused, in addition to lively and fresh. It perfectly captures the beauty of our Rutherford hillside vineyard with textural elegance, fine tannin, and lengthy weight. Integrated oak supports layers of blackberry, espresso, vanilla, and cola, along with underlying acidity.

"A glorious example of Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine has a dense purple color, seamless integration of acidity, alcohol and tannin, remarkable levels of blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, judiciously integrated oak, and a voluptuous texture and long finish of close to 50 seconds."

Robert M. Parker Jr., Wine Advocate

Everything you want to see in a wine’s transformation is on full display in this 2014.

Always delicious to drink upon release, but extremely capable of extended aging, Frank Family’s Winston Hill is a mastery of fine winemaking and artful blending. Each vintage, Todd Graff sets out to create a cohesive, precisely crafted Bordeaux-style blend, using the finest fruit from our winery’s hillside vineyard in Rutherford. He must taste, trial, and blend to create a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts; a skill that requires experience, a keen sense of taste and smell, and most importantly, a goal. Todd’s goal is simple: to make the best wine that is the best expression of our land year after year.
