The 2002 Hillside Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a library wine from the owner, Barry Collier’s, own collection. Very limited production, less than 300 cases were produced.

Collier Falls is a family-owned vineyard and winery in the Dry Creek Valley. They make limited quantities of hillside estate red wines from their own sustainably-farmed vineyards.
The grapes for the 2002 Hillside Estate Cabernet were planted at the 1,000 foot elevation, one of the highest in the Valley. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2002 Collier Falls Hillside Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is rich, plush and smooth. Aromatics of ripe and rich blackberry, cassis and red and black cherry are framed by cedar cigar box, toasted and smoky notes and spice. Soft notes of black licorice, green herbs, pepper and earth adds to the complex and fruit forward nose of the wine.
On the palate, rich, ripe and generous cassis, cherry and other dark fruit linger with the cedar box and other wood aromas found on the nose. The black licorice, green herbs, spice and earth meld with notes of bittersweet chocolate.
