The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay Brut Zero Sweet Cabernet fruit but slightly

Sweet Cabernet fruit but slightly unformed

which resulted in high skin-to-juice ratios

Slightly riper and equally cool and airy aromas are comprised by notes of plum

and brown spices are the key notes in this rich yet almost aggressively penetrating Riesling

The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay Brut Zero Sweet Cabernet fruit but slightly(55% fruit from Sanford & Benedict vineyard and 45% from Solomon Hills vineyard), Pale gold. Musky, heady aromas of yellow plum, poached pear, lemon pith and iodine. Pliant and creamy in texture, with a restrained sweetness to its deep orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Finishes spicy and long, with a smoky mineral nuance adding bite. Josh Raynolds
