2011 HILLSIDE
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Many who know our wines say the 2011 vintage is our best ever. This wine reflects the deep rich color of our previous vintages, along with the powerful nose of blueberry and blackberry in the glass. In addition to the pronounced nose, the Rutherford fruit packs a powerful structure that includes hints of smoke and chocolate on the front and mid palate. The acidity and tannins tantalize the tongue as the Mt. Veeder fruit begins to ignite the back palate with a slight raspberry flavor. The balanced velvety finish of our wine will stay with you until you cannot stand it anymore! The '11 Cab is a full-bodied wine that allows you to chew on its flavor long after the wine has left the mouth.
The wine can be laid down for 7 to 10 years comfortably. As time passes, we will taste the vintage and add updates to the site and/or emails. If it’s time to begin enjoying a bottle of Hensley now, an hour of decanting will certainly help the wine’s flavors to open up to the palate.
There are many ways to enjoy our wine. By itself -- or by yourself. With a meal -- or as the meal. To close out a long day -- to kick off a great night. However you choose to frame it, we're thrilled to be part of your experience.
Pop, Clink, Cheers!
