Wine Spectator
“A frankly ripe red, with a caressing, forward feel, this shows a bit more depth than most in the vintage, offering dark cherry and plum compote flavors laced with singed mesquite and melted black licorice in a style that delivers immediate appeal. Drink now through 2030. 2,900 cases made.”
The 2022 Hillside Select opens with generous aromatics, poise, and elegance. Hailing from a true Mediterranean vintage, the balance of opulence and freshness is striking with vibrant aromas and flavors of blackberry, plums, acai, toast, espresso, dark chocolate, and dried herbs. The ripe tannins are exquisitely integrated offering tension, depth, and enormous promise for layers of beauty and complexity in the coming decades.
Critical Acclaim

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is a solid success in the vintage, offering a beautifully layered, rich, textured style on the palate. Blackberries, redcurrants, spicy oak, dried flowers, and tobacco notes all give way to a full-bodied 2022 that has sweet tannins and great purity.
