2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillstone Vineyard
Napa Valley
Our 2009 Hillstone Cabernet is sourced from a small hillside vineyard at the Rutherford home of Carol and George Biel. Planted in 1993, the vines at Hillstone Vineyard are rooted in cobbly, light loam soils, terraced on a steep, west-facing slope in Rutherford. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in new French oak, the 2009 vintage is deeply fruited with hi-tone wild blackberry and currant, and aromas of espresso, sweet sandalwood and cedar oak spices. Fleshy, ripe and round on entry the palate picks up weight and length with fine rustic tannins. 250 cases produced.
