Hillside Select is our flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, expressing the voluptuous flavors, rich aromas, and velvety texture that characterize grapes grown on our hillside estate: A wine of a place, sourced from carefully selected blocks of our Stags Leap District hillside estate.

These grapes are small and deeply colored, with concentrated flavors enhanced by meticulous winemaking and extensive aging in French oak barrels. It consistently expresses the voluptuous fruit, rich flavors, and velvety texture that characterize grapes grown in this renown AVA. Hillside Select is offered once per year to members of our allocation list.

“The 2021 vintage expresses Hillside Select’s singular elegance, vibrancy, and balance. The aromas lift out of the glass, offering blackberry, cedar, black currant, and just-picked cherry with graceful floral and leather tones. The complexity of the vintage is striking, merging dark fruit with red plum, wet stone, lavender, and black tea. The ripe, seamlessly integrated tannins add depth, precision, and serious structure for decades of aging, all culminating in a long, exquisite finish.” — Elias Fernandez, Winemaker
