Novelty Hill

Highly Rated Limited Production Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from WA States Leading Winemaker Mike Januik.

A savory affair, pleasingly complex with subtle textures; drives well on the palate, with smooth, ripe tannins.

88 PTS WILFRED WONG. Shows off the varietal well, the ripe-fruited, dried herbal '10 Novelty Hill Sauvignon Blanc stays rich and textured on the palate; generous aftertaste.

89 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '08 Novelty Hill Royal Slope Red is an intriguing blend of about half Merlot and the balance Syrah, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet.

90 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '09 Novelty Hill Stillwater Chardonnay has buttered popcorn, mineral, spiced apple, and pear aromas that lead to a concentrated, spicy, nicely proportioned wine.

89 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '07 Novelty Hill Merlot is supple, velvety and spicy, with allspice and clove overtones to the dark berry and red pepper fruit; drink now through 2015.

Novelty Hill producers elegant reds. The Cabernet shows red fruit flavors; medium bodied, soft tannins on the palate and an easy finish. Works well with oven baked, herb chicken.
