Description
For nearly 40 years, William Hill Estate Winery has been offering rich and expressive wines from our vineyards in Napa Valley. This Cabernet Franc-based red blend is rooted in the character of the unique, rolling hills of our 200-acre estate in the heart of the Silverado Bench in Napa Valley, crafted through the vision of winemaker Mark Williams, thoughtful vineyard planning and meticulous attention in the cellar.
