2017 Vine Hill Ranch "VHR" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Bid on this bottle of 2017 Vine Hill Ranch "VHR" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (94JD, 94VN, 93RP). Vinous: "Next to the other wines in the range the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon comes across as soft, fruity and easygoing. Juicy dark cherry fruit, plum, spice, cedar and tobacco are all kicked up. The 2017 doesn’t have the nuance of the very best years, but it is developing positively while also gaining a bit more mid-palate richness than it showed as a young wine. The tannins have started to soften. (AG)" (10/2021)

Professional Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon VHR is slightly deep purple-hued and has a darker, smoky bouquet of blackberries, currants, scorched earth, violets, and toasty oak. These carry to a rich, full-bodied, concentrated wine with plenty of mid-palate depth, building yet ripe tannins, and a great finish. (JD) 94+” (01/2021)

Wine Advocate
“Hints of barrel char and dark chocolate join red berries on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with some dusty tannins taking a prominent role on the finish. (JC)” (01/2024)

Jancis Robinson
“Deep blackish purple. Very intense nose, like an essence of that oyster-shell aroma. Very smooth tannins (which were initially very tough, apparently) and lovely balance. Sophisticated and quite gentle. 18/20 points (JR)” (04/2024)
