2008 Vine Hill Ranch 'VHR' Cabernet Sauvignon

Vine Hill Ranch's inaugural release impresses with depth and complexity, solidifying the winery's reputation. The Phillips family, custodians of the Ranch since 1959, enlisted Françoise Peschon, known for her work at Haut-Brion and Araujo Estate, as winemaker. Aromas of crushed cocoa nibs, forest floor, savory herbs, and abundant cassis fruit captivate. The palate offers refined fruit flavors with hints of black truffle, sage, and chocolate, supported by balanced tannins and acidity. Enjoy now with aeration or cellar for further refinement.
