2022 Hill Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot, Hill Family's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the family's vineyards in the southern portions of Napa. The proportion of new French oak is limited, adding just hints of pencil shavings to the notes of black cherries and black olives. Medium to full-bodied, supple and easy to drink, with silky tannins on the finish, this is a fine, balanced effort, even if not overly concentrated or age-worthy.
