2001 Windhill
The 2001 vintage is softer and prettier than previous vintages of this wine. It still has the hallmark spicy black pepper aromatics, but shows a highlighted brightness and red cherry fruit on the palate and a long finish. With proper storage this wine will age gracefully for several years.
