Description

Where horses once roamed, Bill Harter, in 1974, decided to plant grapes in what has now become the Oakville nested appellation. We affectionately named our eastern hillside vineyard locations Oakville East. Our current planting is exclusive to Cabernet Sauvignon and for our "Harter Hill" wine we use only grapes hand-selected from our 1991 old vine plantings. We have realized that organic and biodynamic farming techniques help us ensure the quality of grapes and soil health. These changes, along with being lucky enough to have multiple blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon growing on our two adjacent single vineyards, have helped us realize our dream of honoring our father by having a wine named after our family legacy: Oakville East - Harter Family Double H Ranch single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The Harter Hill wine is destined to be a classic and will last for many years. The profile has a soft, elegant tannin structure with crushed rock which adds dust and minerality to the bright orange blossom, cardamom, blueberry, red currant and strawberry flavors.
