- Deep, black cherry-red in color, the 1998 vintage of Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the cooler growing season of this El Niño year, with aromas of blueberry, violet and black currant, and a bouquet of vanilla, roasted almonds, tar and smoky oak. The 1998 Hilltop delivers a structure and power reminiscent of Bordeaux's finest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines. The structure allows this wine to age for 10 to 15 years while providing a suppleness of texture and balance that makes it enjoyable today.
