Hill Family Estate 2011 Red Door Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Red Door
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Hill Family Estate / Napa Valley

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec offers classic peppercorn and big juicy cassis and blackberry notes. It’s enjoyable now in its vibrant fruit forwardness but also structured enough to let sit 2018–2020. On the finish are touches of bittersweet chocolate and dried herb.
