As always, the 2021 Todos is a Syrah-heavy kitchen sink blend that also includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Merlot, and more. Pure blackberries, spring flowers, freshly ground pepper, leather, and graphite all emerge from the glass, and it's a ripe, powerful, structured red that needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will evolve gracefully over the following decade.
Rated 93/100 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Todos is a very serious wine, in fact the 2021 might be the best Todos ever. Savory, dark and expressive, the 2021 possesses remarkable depth and intensity. The wild, meaty personality of Syrah really dominates the blend at this stage. What a wine! Best of all, Todos remains a fabulous value.

Black cherries, assorted darker berries, leafy herbs, sage, rose, and hints of iodine all emerge from the 2022 Pinot Noir Estate, a medium-bodied, complex, pretty, almost racy Pinot Noir that has solid depth of fruit, as well as a great finish. It blossoms with air, so don't be afraid to give this a decant if drinking any time soon. It should have an easy 10-12 years of prime drinking.
Rated 93/100 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate is glorious. A rush of inky dark fruit, spice, lavender, licorice and mocha are all front and center. Plush and explosive, with tremendous textural density, the 2022 has so much to offer. This is an especially large-scale, voluptuous wine from The Hilt.
Rated 93/100 Vinous Media
I was quite taken with these new releases from The Hilt. The Pinot Noirs are compelling, a testament to the skill of the winemaking team led by Matt Dees...Pinot Noirs are done in a style that marries textural richness with energy. --Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
