Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
The Hilt was founded in 2008 and is now owned by Stan Kroenke whose properties include Screaming Eagle and Bonneau du Martray. Run by winemaker Matt Dees, who actually turned down the top job at Screaming Eagle, it is a project he has overseen for many years and the wines just keep getting better and better. Situated in the Santa Rita Hills, the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean keeps acidity in check and is the perfect climate for growing both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which ripen to near perfect. When in the hands of Dees, the resulting wine is truly magnificent.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
