Hilt & Blade

The Hilt

The Vanguard Chardonnay 2012

Winery owned by same majority owner of Screaming Eagle and Bonneau du Martray. A pleasant surprise at age 14, still incredibly fresh with a Burgundian flair and toasty reduction. Fleshes out gaining weight and detail with air. Most definitely drinks above its price point. — a month ago

Radian Vineyard 2022

Solid bottle, was hoping for something a bit more. I still feel the Chardonnay and Pinot blends are better than single bottlings and for the price hard to beat. — 3 months ago

Continuum

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Overrated and overpriced. 1+hr decant, probably needed more. Very hot nose with plums. Massive tannins and hits the palate like a razor blade. Earthy with plums and prunes. Not my style. Medium depth and finish.

Anyone want my last bottle?

@Paul J : Just checked my CT notes and I opened this ‘12 almost two years ago and it was corked. Was hoping I could give you some hope but my only experience was flawed!

Yeah, the Continuum's always run lean and spicy. Like zero percent body fat. Nothing to grasp...a sheer red/Cabernet cliff that few can climb.

My experience with this wine was the complete opposite. I have a few 07’s kicking around and they were plush and dense when I last took a look…

The Paring

Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

Delectable Wine
9.0

The Paring’s 2019 Red is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from the team at Jonata and The Hilt. It soars from the glass with wild flowers, herbs, blood orange and red-fleshed fruit. Elegant and nuanced, the Red is also a tremendous value. $20.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2022) — 4 years ago
