William Hill Sauvignon Blanc
Stainless steel Sauvignon Blanc from a 1976 Napa pioneer.
The story behind William Hill
Bill Hill planted his first vines in 1976, and the estate has been owned by E. & J. Gallo since 2007. The North Coast Sauvignon Blanc is the workhorse of the lineup: long, cool fermentation entirely in stainless steel, then a short rest on the lees for weight without oak. Small percentages of Albariño, Viognier and Grüner Veltliner join the blend in most vintages, which is why the mid-palate holds up better than the price suggests.
We have poured this for customers for years, and it has earned a Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Screw cap, 13.8 to 13.9 percent alcohol, and a bottle that behaves the same every time you open it. That consistency is the whole point.
