Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on a handful of select vineyard sites in the Paso Robles AVA. Blessed with long summer days of intense sunshine, their near 100°F daytime temperatures are followed by chilly, ocean-cooled nights in the 50s. These Cabernet vines are naturally stressed in the dry, often very gravelly, and sometimes lime shale-laden soils. Water is at a premium in these vineyards, enabling the viticulturist to fine-tune irrigation, producing the darkest fruit with resolved tannins year after year.
This 2023 vintage of Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with a portion of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Franc freshens the fruit aromas and infuses the finish with a lively peppery character. Petit Verdot adds luxurious blue fruit aromas and hones the mid-palate structure.
