Description

Hillside Select is made of 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon fruit sourced from rugged hillside vineyard blocks on our Stags Leap District Estate. Truly a “wine of a place,” this Cabernet exemplifies the extraordinary richness and suppleness consistently produced in our little valley within a valley.

Still a monster with big mouthfeel, very dark color, lots of chocolate and dark fruit. Showing signs of moving past the stage of primary fruit with cedar, tea and tobacco moving toward center stage. In a couple of years this wine should transition deliciously into the full beauty of age. A long finish of chocolate, vanilla and spice all surrounded by the classic silky tannins of the Stags Leap District.
