Jet-black fruit to this such as dark plums and morello cherries as well as coffee beans, walnuts, licorice and hazelnuts. The palate is surprisingly vivacious with a line of refreshing acidity, round, chewy tannins and a long finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley opens with wonderfully expressive crème de cassis, plum preserves and blueberry pie notes with hints of pencil shavings, dried Mediterranean herbs, tapenade, wood smoke and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rock-solid, firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness to lift the densely packed, muscular fruit, finishing long and earthy. 8,000 cases produced.

This is a 100% varietal wine from William Hill Estate grapes. It is a softly textured effort that offers the perfect amount of underlying tannic grip. Cinnamon, red currant and plum flavors complement cured meat, black olive, soy and black licorice.
