ABOUT THIS WINE

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 5% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot aged for 20 months in 26% new French oak

The 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is carefully blended to give power and balance. Hill Family appreciates the opportunity to use high elevations (Baker Vineyard in Atlas Peak is at 1,200 ft.) with their intense tannins and color, then blend and civilize them with vineyards from the valley floor and cooler areas. 2021 had many hot spells all the way into October, so the sugars outran the tannins in development. The unevolved tannins had to be softened with Merlot and Malbec, and even the Petit Verdot had softer tannins than the Cabernet Sauvignon. 

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Hill Family Estate was born out of the desire for the family to work together – sharing the experience of crafting fine wines that showcased the grapes that Doug farmed and then introducing those wines to the consumer at a tasting room in their hometown, and American foodie capital, Yountville, California.

Doug farms the grapes and helps craft the wine and Ryan runs the sales division, working hard to get the Hill Family Estate wines placed in select accounts for you to enjoy. Carly lives and works in San Diego and hosts tastings and dinners in Southern California. Hill Family Estate is the culmination of Doug’s vision – a way to share his love of the valley, of farming and of wine with his children and wine lovers everywhere. Using inspiration from the top wineries in Napa, Hill Family Estate created their own unique flavors while staying true to Napa’s incredible history.
