Swedish Hill
Swedish Hill produces wines from the Finger Lakes region of New York, where cool-climate viticulture shapes distinctive expressions of both cool-weather classics and regional specialties. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Bordeaux blends. Blue Waters Pinot Noir demonstrates the region's capacity for elegant, structured renderings of the variety. Cabernet Franc–Lemberger pairs two grapes suited to the area's growing conditions, while Optimus, a Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot blend, reflects the winery's approach to Bordeaux-style composition. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these wines, offering critical perspective on the house's work across its range.
