2013 Red Mountain Reserve
This is an impeccably balanced wine showing characteristic Cabernet Sauvignon herbal notes with wonderful floral overtones and that mid-palate structure is everything we hoped for. This would be fabulous with mint crusted lamb or a pesto pasta!
Tasting notes
The Editor of Great NW Wine, Andy Perdue, had this to say of our 2013 Red Mountain Reserve: “Hightower Cellars is high atop Red Mountain at the end of famed Sunset Road. The Hightowers use estate grapes for this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Oak tones with a bit of vanilla lead off its aromas, followed by black cherries and dark berries. On the tongue black cherry fruit merges seamlessly with blackberry and blueberry leading to sweet dark chocolate and refined tannins. It's an impeccably balanced red blend.”
Hightower Cellars makes wines that are naturally beautiful and free from pretense. We let the powerful and concentrated fruit from Red Mountain speak for itself. The result is a collection of well-balanced, nuanced wines that reveal something new and interesting each time you open a bottle. We like to think they’re wines with character, through and through—in how they were made, how they taste and in the connections they inspire. We produced 172 cases.
