Estimate
The richness and subtlety of Vine Hill Ranch, showing plums and ripe peaches, as well as subtle iron and floral character. Beautiful finish with polished and poised tannins. Excellent length and beauty. Just a hint of austerity at the end, giving it tension. Drink after 2025.
...classic, old school Napa Valley notes of red and black fruits as well as floral, spicy, herbal nuances. Full-bodied on the palate, it has beautiful balance, perfectly integrated fruit, tannins and acidity, no hard edges, and that rare mix of intensity and elegance...
...sports a deep garnet-purple color and offers open-knit scents of baked blackberries, stewed plums and boysenberry preserves, plus hints of underbrush, fruitcake and unsmoked cigars. Rich, juicy and full-bodied in the mouth, it delivers beautifully plush tannins and an invigorating finish.
