Description
For more 40 years we have cultivated Cabernet Sauvignon on the rugged, arid hillsides that surround the winery in the heart of the Stags Leap District nested appellation. Over the decades, the vineyard block that has proven itself again and again a source of world-class fruit has been Sunspot. Sunspot lies on a western-facing slope of thin, volcanic soil that receives the last sunlight of the day. It is the heart and soul of Hillside Select. In your special Premiere Napa Valley lot, we allow the compelling character of this block to take the spotlight.
