2021 TOR 'Vine Hill Ranch' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The 2021 Vine Hill Ranch leads with beautiful balance, grace, and length. It is almost equal parts red fruit, blue fruit, and black fruits, displaying one of the greatest Cabernet vineyards in the world. This vintage again shows the amazing mid palate and what the slightly 'cooler' side of South Oakville can produce. Its rounded texture and balance continue to resonate through the long silky finish.
James Suckling
Extremely aromatic with violets, blue berries and black currants. Then notes of graphite and lead pencil come through. Amazing aromas. Full-bodied with rich and dusty tannins that show fantastic length and intensity. Bark and wet earth undertones with black mushrooms. Needs three or four years to come around. Best after 2026.
Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch is all Cabernet Sauvignon from Blocks 3, 4 and 7. Stylish notes of cedar accent black cherries and cassis on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, concentrated and richly textured. Plush, long and gently dusty on the finish, it's a terrific effort.
