"Origin" continues to be one of the most interesting and balanced wines produced by Hill Family Estate each year. From our family’s vineyards in Beau Terre, Baker and Rocca, this vintage delivers a rich and ripe aroma of dark raspberry and blackberry, surrounded by coffee caramel notes and a little violet vanilla.
This wine has a lovely nose of pear, melon, and white peach, with a touch of herbal green fig notes down the center. The beautifully balanced palate continues with the herbal and white peach flavors. It has a well padded mid-palate with a crisp almost grapefruit finish.
Our flagship wine. The Hill Family Estate “Double Barrel” Cabernet Sauvignon represents the two best barrels we can put together for the year.
The 2006 vintage is a blend of plush valley floor fruit and refined intense mountain fruit; the best Napa Valley can offer. The use of all new French oak to structure all of the fruit makes for a very big wine, one that will benefit from upwards of 5 years cellaring to come into its own.
