The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon from Baker & Hamilton is fabulous. Medium in body and beautifully layered, the 2023 graces the palate with lovely red/purplish-toned fruit lifted by soaring floral aromatics. Time in the glass releases hints of lavender, cinnamon and new leather. Fine-grained tannins round things out in style. This supremely elegant Cabernet Sauvignon is irresistibly sexy. (AG)

The 2023 Baker & Hamilton is the second wine of Vine Hill Ranch and remains a standout value, offering red and black fruits, leather, toasted spice, graphite, and well-integrated spicy oak that's going to scratch any Napa Cabernet Sauvignon itch you might have. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, it has background notes of tobacco and a subtle garrigue-like nuance, and it has the complexity and length to make it a serious wine in its own right. Drink 2025-2040.
