WILLIAM HILL ESTATES
CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 2012
NORTH COAST, CALIFORNIA
What a delightful surprise! It's extremely rare to find a California Cabernet Sauvignon that tastes so good and, at the same time, is so affordable for everyday consumption. William Hill is both a treat for those, such as I, who enjoy Cabernet, and a good introduction to this varietal. I was satisfied because it met my expectations of a California Cabernet: good body, aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, currants, cedar, with hints of caramel and cocoa. It is young but, surprisingly, very enjoyable now, and sufficiently complex to develop further in the bottle. While William Hill Estates has a long history in Napa, this is the initial vintage from the North Coast.
