96 / 100"A juicy and rich wine here with layers of ripe tannins and ripe fruit. Full body. Blueberries with grilled meat and subtle smoke undertones. Flavorful and tasty. Hard not to open now. Drink nor hold"

Tasting Notes
Hill of Roses is produced from a mass selection from the Grandfather vines in the Hill of Grace Vineyard, planted as a nursery block in 1989 by Prue Henschke. These vines were a mere 12 years old when the wine was first produced in 2001 and while the vines are too young to be considered for inclusion in Hill of Grace, the quality of fruit from this selection has produced a wine that warrants a separate bottling and limited release.
