2022 Holler Cabernet Sauvignon
Silky. Deep. Polished. Round. Rich. Wide open and full throttle. Dense, purple saturation. A stunning nose of black and blue fruits, sweet oak and crushed mineral. On the palate it offers supple, rich fruit balanced atop a fine tannic framework. Flavors erupting on the palate include blackberry, cherry, citrus, caramel, mocha, cedar and stone. Ready to roll right now and built for the long run.
Food Pairing: Steak and baked potato, old school like. Or roasted mushrooms and mashers.
Movie Pairing: To Kill a Mockingbird
FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
First produced in 2012, Holler is named for Red Hollow, the place where Chris's parents live in Knoxville, Tennessee. The theory behind the wine is simple: once the barrels for Kingpin, Rainmaker and Evermore are selected, the remaining barrels (plus some other Bordeaux varietals) become Holler. These barrels are good enough to become the #21 wine in the world on Wine Spectator's 2016 Top 100.This wine heads our over delivery tier, having received a 94 point score for the 2013. Tastes great too.
Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines #21 (2013) and #29 (2018) (2013: 94 pts, 2014: 93, 2015: 92, 2016: 93, 2017: 92, 2018: 93, 2019: 93)
