Coming all from the Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard (it's basically the second wine of the estate), the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep ruby/plum hue as well as solid varietal notes of darker currants, sappy herbs, cedar pencil, chocolate and underbrush. I love its aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a concentrated, structured mouthfeel, building tannins, and a good finish. Give bottles 2-3 years to let the tannins integrate and enjoy bottles over the following decade.

Very similar to the 2021 on the nose, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up red and black cherries framed by hints of vanilla and modest cedar shadings. It's medium to full-bodied, velvety and open-knit, maybe just a touch coarser in texture than the 2021 on the finish. That's a quibble; this is still very drinkable stuff. (JC)

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolute delight. Bright, vibrant and focused, this Cabernet is all class. A rush of red/purplish fruit, lavender and sweet spice caresses the palate. Best of all, the 2022 offers superb drinkability and tons of sheer appeal. Although not heavily promoted as such, the Baker & Hamilton is Bruce and Heather Phillips' more accessible wine from Vine Hill Ranch. (AG)
