2016 Harrison Hill S/O
SNIPES MOUNTAIN AVA
The 2016 vintage of Harrison Hill showcases the elegance and subtlety of the wine produced by the older vines at this Snipes Mountain site. Delicate aromas of roses, sandalwood and currant intertwine with elusive hints of orange pith and earthy truffle. Restrained on the palate, with an inviting, soft entry, flavors of red currant and anise are carried by a balanced core of bright fruit and gentle acidity. Mouth coating, supple tannin adds to the Old World complexity of this wine, allowing the flavors to linger hauntingly on the finish.

Wine Profile
Production
A Bordeaux-style blend from a small, historic vineyard on Snipes Mountain, this wine is labeled after the vineyard’s namesake – Harrison Hill. Over the past five decades, the state’s second-oldest Cabernet vines have matured gracefully while producing progressively limited yields. This slow, elegant maturation is a compelling expression of what it means to be a terroir-driven wine. First vintage 1994.
