A generous percentage of Petit Verdot and Malbec in the blend add tantalizing depth to the tannic profile, deepen the color in the glass and enhance richness in the mid-palate. When given time, notes of bergamot, cardamom and blackberry develop as this wine remains smooth and balanced while simultaneously maintaining the...
Even though this was a complete wine from the start, those who know me know that I’m never satisfied and so chose to blend in some Cabernet Sauvignon to add coarser tannins to the midpalate and some Petit Verdot to stretch those same tannins out at the finish. The nose stays...
The forward black cherry and plum aromas and flavors typical of the Alexander Valley are combined with the unique cedar and sage aromas and firm tannins of our Bismark Mountain Vineyard to create this Estate Cabernet. Balance and complexity are the hallmarks of this Cab from veteran producer Hanna. It’s deep and long in spicy, oaky blackberry and cherry fruit, while the structure is defined by soft tannins and good acids. Delicious now, and should hold for a decade. — S.H.

Hayman & Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2010
Big and Rich, this is a truly expressive Napa Cabernet. Rich chocolate with blueberry and raspberry notes, subtle hints of tobacco and leather and the classic dust & berry you find on the nose of most Napa Cabernets. Soft tannins and great palate structure match this wine perfectly to red meats...
Soothing tropical fruit with subtle bursts of mineral weave through the palate. Ripe melon and butterscotch round out the rich mouth feel and finish with soft sweet acidity.
Hayman & Hill are firm believers that sometimes the sum of the parts are greater than the individual components. Meritage blends are just that, the perfect marriage of several varieties, each grape bringing out the best in each other and representing the region with the utmost quality.
For over a decade, Heron Wines has been making distinctive, delicious, varietal wines from the best places on Earth. For this Cabernet Sauvignon, they sought out vineyards in prime higher-elevation locations.

Heron believes in the less is more” philosophy when it comes to the influence of the winemaker on the wine better to let the fruit express itself. The key to this Merlot is balance. To get there; ripe fruit with the right acidity was fermented and aged in a combination of...
