Vine Hill Ranch

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

9.7

A wine that I brought tonight and felt strongly about. Incredible pedigree, winemaker is from Araujo which is insane great! Beautiful 12 but I committed infanticide., should laid it down another few years but it did open up like a million bucks after a few hours. Truly opulent Napa wine which is well structured and loved by all tonight. A new rockstar on the block vs the the old rock stars that were drinking in full stride tonight. It's was awesome tonight but I can't wait for it to evolve a little and become STELLAR in the future. I highly recommend this wine. The preliminary rating is 96 to 98 and the 13 is even better if you can imagine that! — 8 years ago

I would uncork one now to see it's evolution. Decant minimum of 3 hours and it will blow you away!

Great note- looking for some of this now @Martin G Rivard !

Martin G Rivard

@Eric Shanks You definitely won't be disappointed!! Pick up the 13 as well since I think it's even better than their insanely great 12. You can't go wrong with either vintage!👌

Beautifully "restrained" (if that term applies to Napa blockbusters) and showing fantastic balance.
This reminds me of 2003 Araujo Eisele CS at age 5+.

Buy as much as you can afford and then put a few extra bottles on your CC.
This is going to be a legend in 20+ years.

Leo - I'm not at liberty to discuss TRB business but let's just say that A LOT of GOOD wines are being made at MW so check it out (they have a Tasting Room).
Hope you have a great '15 vintage on your hands. Cheers /H

An absolute beauty with an almost "Old World coolness" to it.
I was blind guessing this as a restrained and less ripe vintage of Araujo (which is one of my favorite Napa wineries).
GREAT wine! — 9 years ago

Together with Araujo, Alpha Omega, Spottswoode and (2013) Ladera Vnyds, Merry Edwards gets my vote as the top SB's coming out of CA these days.
Go on a hunt for this/these!

"Entre Deux Mères" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Christine Havens

9.2

“Between Two Mothers” is the translated meaning of Entre Deux Mères, a brand stemming from the collaborative efforts and friendship of two women, Francoise Peschon, winemaker at Araujo Estate and viticulturist Lisa Behrens, of Behrens and Hitchcock. The nose is plummy, possibly flirting with over-ripeness. There are too, notes of lilacs, dark chocolate and subtle spice shining through this voluptuous Napa Cab along with inner sweetness at the core and a nice dollop of glycerol and fine tannin. 14.3% ABV — 9 years ago

Was lucky to get a bunch of the Araujo Francoise made, now I'm following her at VHR, very talented, love her style. I think she made one of the outstanding 2011's I've had.
