Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Sourced from the historic benchlands of Vine Hill Ranch in southwest Oakville, the 2022 vintage highlights the site's unique ability to maintain savory elegance and structural integrity even in warmer, low-yielding conditions.

The nose is brooding, complex, and intensely aromatic, unleashing crushed cassis, ripe black plum, and dark cherry, interwoven with signature Vine Hill Ranch nuances of dried sage, forest floor, pencil shavings, dark cocoa, and a hint of sweet tobacco. On the palate, the wine enters with broad volume and plush, velvety weight. A concentrated core of ripe black fruits and savory herbs expands across the mid-palate, held firmly in check by ripe, fine-grained, and mouth-coating tannins. A vibrant lift of dark berry acidity brings energy and focus, driving into a long, polished finish that lingers on notes of crushed gravel, espresso roast, and dark fruit skin.
