Silent Lot #122 – William Hill Winery
A Case of Cabernet

William Hill Estate Winery is a special place. A confluence of characteristics makes the 140-acre estate an ideal vineyard. Set on a benchland with a southwestern exposure, the vines bask in abundant sunlight. The vineyard is close to the valley floor climatically, but the volcanic soil and the size and vigor of the vines means William Hill is more like a mountaintop vineyard. These elements translate to elegant, expressive red Bordeaux wines. The bottlings in the winery’s Bench Blend Collection illustrate the quintessential characteristics of Napa Valley: lush, expressive fruit. These wines are soft, elegant and beautifully integrated, melding grapes from hand-selected vineyard blocks that deliver intense flavor characteristics. They are a testament to the extraordinary vineyards of southern Napa. Tasting notes for the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Bench Blend describe it as “…rich and dark with aromas and flavors of blackberry and hints of chocolate. The fruit flavors are balanced by notes of brown spice and sweet vanilla from fine oak integration. The soft, plush mouthfeel, intense fruit and silky tannins evolve into an impressive fruit-focused finish.” A case of this beautiful creation is up for grabs tonight. You know you want it.
