Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa Valley

An elegant and lively mountain Cabernet Sauvignon made with fully ripened hand-selected grapes from a ridge on Mt. Veeder. These grapes make a wine with the finesse and structure reflecting the best that Cabernet Sauvignon has to offer. 2003 was a vintage that allowed the grapes to ripen fully, giving intensity to the wine that is difficult to achieve in most years.
