William Hill Estate Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA
| Vintage: | 1988 |

| Description: | Winery Notes:. William Hill Estate rests on the gently rolling hills of the Silverado Bench at the foot of the ancient Vaca Mountains, rising from the Valley floor in Southern Napa. Unlike the rich, sandy loam soils that dominate the Valley floor, benchland soils tend to be rocky, thin and nutrient-deprived. Similar to mountain fruit, vines here struggle to find water deep within the soil, resulting in small berries with intense color and flavor. This translates to exceptionally balanced wines with vivid fruit characteristics and refined acidity. At our William Hill Estate vineyards, we have significant variations in elevation, drainage and sun exposure, even from row to row. These variations also mean some areas are more reminiscent of the fertile Valley floor. Our vineyards were planted to highlight these differences, with some blocks as small as one-tenth of an acre. Each block is picked at its optimal ripeness and fermented separately, allowing the full expression of our land to be brought to the bottle. |
