UNITY HILL – NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
If your first impression of Unity Hill is, “Wow, this tastes like an $80 Cab!” it is no coincidence. The good folks at the Wine Liberation Society here in Birmingham have acquired juice from a top-flight, cult status winery in Napa on a hush-hush basis. Ssh! We won’t tell if you won’t!
