The Baker & Hamilton Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a powerful, beautifully built wine in this cool, impressively balanced vintage. Full-bodied and driven by red and black cherry fruit, it delivers deliciously juicy dark fruit layered with sagebrush spice and elegant cedarwood notes. The tannins are muscular yet refined, gathering momentum and building through the finish. (JC)

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.
