2021
Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon

98 points | Lisa Peretti-Brown, The Wine Palate, July 2025

“It bursts with bold notes of warm cassis and plum preserves, plus nuances of Indian spice, unsmoked cigars, and licorice with a waft of bay leaves. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with black fruit layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and great tension, finishing long with wonderful purity.”

TASTING NOTES

Bright aromatics of cranberries and chocolate reflect a beautifully balanced crop, while small berries translate into a palate densely packed with blue and black fruit, accented by cigar box and spice. The long finish is powered by minerality and beautifully integrated, ultra-fine tannins.

Winemaking Notes

In 2021, an early bud break, a long hang time, low yields, and a smaller leaf canopy yielded intense, concentrated fruit at Vine Hill Ranch.
