A View From The Hilltop

On February 8, 2013, The Hilltop Winery welcomed me back for a quick visit and dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Casa Nostra.

We began the tasting at the house with the Chardonnay and moved on to the Petite Sirah from Howell Mountain. We took the Zinfandel to dinner.

Tasting details on the wines:

• 2003 Downing Family Vineyards, Zinfandel, Oakville, Napa Valley, CA
• 2007 Retro - Petite Sirah, Howell Mountain
• 2009 Ramey Chardonnay, Hudson Vineyards
