Zoom call tasting with owner Bruce Phillips, plus master sommeliers Chris Blanchard and Jack Mason. Really fun, and such great wine!

The 2016 Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a drop dead stunning wine from the Phillips and their talented team of Mike Wolf and Françoise Peschon. This majestic Cabernet bursts opens to seductive aromas of dark currants, blueberries, spices, graphite, iron, violets and a touch of sage all emerging from the glass. On the palate this is equally as impressive, as it boasts a gorgeous full body that shows incredible depth, with a resonating core or ripe dark fruits that expands beautifully through the long polished finish. This is one of the most compelling wines from this fabulous vintage, and readers should not hesitate to get their hands on this years exceptional release from VHR.

Still a bit tight.. needs more time but all the ingredients are there for a phenomenal cab! Very complex and intellectual.. big difference in profile vs the Riverain Reserve which we had side by side!
