The 2023 vintage of HGIll delivers a bold and captivating expression, showcasing its signature blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah with fresh energy and depth. Aromatically, the wine is a vibrant interplay of ripe boysenberry, fig compote, and berry jam, lifted by notes of geranium flowers, fennel, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, bright, youthful tannins frame the rich core of dark fruit, balanced by savory elements of baker's chocolate and coconut macaroons. A precise blend of new and seasoned barrels contributes structure and complexity, ensuring a wine that is both powerful and refined, with a lingering finish that speaks to its pedigree.
