The outstanding 2021 From The Sky Down ‘Heart of The Hill’ Cabernet Sauvignon comes from this brilliant site on Red Mountain. This wine comes from a single block in the vineyard (Clone 2) as this was stored in 75% new French oak before bottling. Turkish coffee and Asian spices mark the nose alongside black tea, blackberry compote and violet rose petals. The heady aromatics bring you back to the glass for more enjoyment. The palate is intense and very dense with refined texture and serious verve. A total stunner, this is going to be a head-turning wine for decades to come. Drink 2024-2045 ~99 Owen Bargreen
The wine opens up with a decadent combination of blackberry pie, loamy soil, sweet pea flowers and espresso shots laced with anise. The wine's full, thick texture complements its blackberry, orange zest, clove and pipe tobacco flavors, all of which are backed by fine-grained tannins. ~98 Wine Enthusiast
Ripe fruits and spice are the markers of this Cabernet, and they have an intensity that is the signature of Red Mountain. From Kiona's iconic Heart of the Hill Vineyard, it offers ripe blackberries that border on jammy in their redolence. Crushed violets and lavender brighten the aromatics, which finish with a spiced mineral tone. The palate is dense, mouthcoating black fruits, hints of pepper, fig jam, and Christmas spices. This new brand is a collaboration between winemaker Todd Alexander and Bryan Otis. ~ 95 Decanter
I like the lavender, dried herb and spice character to this. Ripe black cherry and blackcurrant fruit. Broad, muscular and full-bodied, with deep and spicy layers and firm, sturdy tannins. Try from 2026. ~ 94 James Suckling
