The 2019 WeatherEye Hillfighter Red is a proprietary blend that offers an intriguing journey for the senses. This stunning vinous creation hails from the esteemed wine region of Red Mountain in Washington, USA, a region known for producing wines with a unique terroir expression.

In the glass, the wine presents in a charming shade of red, an enticing introduction to its rich and complex profile. Upon uncorking this bottle, expertly closed with a traditional cork, you are met with a melange of aromas. As acclaimed wine critic Jeb Dunnuck notes, the nose is dominated by spiced black cherries, dusty spice, iron, and a distinct chalky minerality. Renowned publication, Wine Enthusiast, adds to this olfactory profile with notes of dark chocolate, wood spice, and cherry.

The palate of the 2019 WeatherEye Hillfighter Red is a testament to its high quality and expert craftsmanship. It is beautifully balanced and medium-bodied, with an age-worthy structure that promises to evolve and delight over the next decade. The blend is composed of 53% Tempranillo, 30% Syrah, and 17% Mourvèdre, resulting in a wine that is both brooding and expressive. The firm tannins provide a solid backbone to the wine, further enhancing its aging potential.

With a score of 92 points from both Jeb Dunnuck and Wine Enthusiast, this wine comes highly recommended. It is suggested to benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar, with the purity of the wine being spot on. A short decant before serving is encouraged to fully enjoy its depth and complexity. The 2019 WeatherEye Hillfighter Red is indeed, as Wine Enthusiast puts it, 'a whole lot of wine', and a fantastic addition to any wine collection.
