2023 Hillside Select Story
A wine of place.
Hillside Select is drawn from carefully selected blocks across our Stags Leap District hillside estate — Sunspot, John’s Folly, Hitching Post, and Palisade. The fruit, small and deeply colored, delivers remarkable concentration and depth.
Through meticulous farming, 28 months in new French oak, and nearly four years of patience before release, the 2023 expresses the voluptuous fruit, richness, and velvety texture that define Cabernet Sauvignon from this renowned corner of Napa Valley. It marks winemaker Elias Fernández’s 39th vintage.
