We are deeply honored to share that Jonathan Cristaldi and Decanter Magazine have awarded our 2022 Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon a perfect 100-point score — a defining moment in this early chapter of our story.
Portfolio
Annulus wines are crafted under the leadership of Nigel Kinsman and collaborating oenologist Michel Rolland, to reflect Napa Valley’s diverse terroirs through its most quintessential expression—Cabernet Sauvignon. Small by design, with fewer than 900 cases made, each release pays tribute to this remarkable Valley, the heritage vineyards that have embodied its character for generations, and the connections forged in the making and sharing of wine.

“…gorgeous aromas of ripe black cherries, currants, chocolate, and chalky minerality… it’s medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and seamless on the palate, with perfectly integrated oak. This is a remarkable achievement in 2022 that will keep for 15+ years.”

“A stylish, polished wine—super-suave and expressive, with rich, perfectly weighted fruit and gorgeous, super-fine tannins infused with an iron-scented minerality. Beautifully compact yet intensely juicy, it bursts with red and black fruit, layered with gravelly mineral depth. The exceptional tension and structure give it poise and balance, making it a masterful effort that radiates freshness, precision and impeccable harmony.”

“This wine carries…elegant red berry fruit and rich volcanic crushed stone minerality, accented by bay laurel and sage…velvety-textured tannins frame layers of mocha, more bay laurel, and white pepper, adding nuance and depth. The finish is long and refined, leaving lingering notes of earth and conifer.”
