Description
These Cabernet vines are naturally stressed in the dry, often very gravelly, and sometimes lime shale-laden soils. Water is at a premium in these vineyards, enabling the viticulturist to fine-tune irrigation, resulting in the darkest possible fruit with resolved tannins year after year. It's effusive with fresh varietal aromas of black cherry and hints of toasted pastry and baking spice on the nose. Dense and soft on the palate. Elegant layers of black and red currants leave a bright finish.

Good price
November 23, 2020 by Kathleen C.
“First time trying this particular wine. Very good for the price!”
Not quite the 2018
January 10, 2023 by David E. (United States)
“Not the same richness/complexity as the 2018, but of course this is younger. Seems to have a slightly more bitter edge. 2018 Hilltop was smoother.”
