2021 Red Door 1.5L

A Red Door is a symbol of welcome, or a center of positive energy, abundance, and opportunity. Red Door from Hill Family Estate is a wine blended to take advantage of our best lots that work together in the most rich and flavorful way, regardless of variety or sub-appellation. In 2021, Cabernet Sauvignon from the Windy Flats Vineyard had the most intense flavors and spice. The Baker Vineyard in Atlas Peak added structure, and Coleman Vineyard from Coombsville added elegance. Small crops after years of drought gave the Malbec and Petit Verdot from Windy Flats intensity and complexity. They each have wonderful individuality that would be lost in a big blend, so the Red Door can give them a place to show off. From these outstanding lots we created a small quantity of amazing wine. It is still evolving, and we learn more about how different vineyards and varieties blend together every year, but great fruit and new oak work to build the Red Door into our most hedonistic wine. The 2021 Red Door has an expansive nose of blackberry, cassis, plum, butterscotch and cinnamon. The palate is rich and ripe with blackberry dark chocolate flavors. The wine finishes elegantly calling out for another sip. This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon.
