88 Points

Friday, May 28, 2010 - Herbs, tobacco and subtle floral accent the black cherry fruit. Decanted for two hours - initially slightly astringent perhaps showing its age; after about two hours the fruit opened and revealed a bigger, more firm, more powerful wine. Deep purple, garnet color, starting to develop a miniscus ring. Tasted from magnum. A few years left. The second year for this label, the only year that Hillside Select wasn’t 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (7% Cabernet Franc added). Medium body, mature flavors.
