2016 HILL FAMILY NAPA VALLEY BARREL BLEND "Coming from multiple vineyards in the valley and mostly Merlot, the 2016 Barrel Blend offers loads of kirsch and blackberry fruits as well as complex spice and tobacco characteristics. It's forward, charming, and straight-up delicious, and ideal for drinking over the coming 8-10 years." 89 Points "Hill Family's 2016 Merlot-based Barrel Blend is big, juicy and full of up-front appeal. I would prefer to drink it on the early side in order to get the most out of the wine's succulence and vibrant, racy fruit." 89 Points
