Legend has it that Hillside’s founder planted the first Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the valley.  That first row still lies just to the south of the Howe vineyard, source of this lovely wine.  The depth and flavours of blackberry jam, black cherries, and cocoa powder, along with its power and elegance, continue to amaze us.

Our newest addition to our Single Vineyard Series. This is a medium-bodied, fruit forward wine. Raspberry and cedar notes highlight the aroma, while the palate delivers a fine, silky texture. Gamay is the principle grape of the Beaujolais region—known for producing early release fun fruity wine.  Made here in a more serious style, with barrel aging for 9 months to round out and refine the mid-palate structure.

Single Vineyard Series

NEW LABEL! En route to Naramata, the stunning Dickinson vineyard is on a sun-drenched bench above the lake.  This stylish wine shows dark fruits, fine cocoa and pipe tobacco followed by silky fine-grained tannins.  So fun to taste and compare with our other single vineyard Merlots!
