2019 | Vine Hill Ranch | Baker & Hamilton Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a deep purple hue as well as a killer bouquet of darker currants, smoked tobacco, and spicy oak. Ripe, lush, and sexy on the palate, it brings tons of fruit, has supple tannins, and is a delicious, satisfying Cabernet to enjoy over the coming decade.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: This is packed with vivid boysenberry, mulberry and black currant fruit that bursts forth with energy, while being held in check by graphite, anise and apple wood notes that lend good underlying tension. Features bramble and warm stone accents on the finish, as the fruit races through. Best from 2023 through 2038.

• James Suckling: A soft and velvety red with medium body and round, creamy tannins. Milk-chocolate, blackcurrant and hazelnut character. So attractive now and delicious. Essentially the second wine of Vine Hill Ranch.

Producer Information

Baker & Hamilton is made by the Phillips family. The Phillips family is proud to be part of a long line of independent growers who have farmed in Oakville over the past century. In 1978, parents, Alex and Robert (Bob) Phillips, moved to the Napa Valley to raise their family on the ranch that their grandfather, Bruce Kelham, had purchased some twenty years earlier and christened Vine Hill Ranch. Over time, Bob and Alex cultivated a vineyard of renown, producing exceptional grapes for a collection of notable Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon vintners. They also dedicated themselves to land preservation and community organizations, including the Farm Bureau and Napa Valley Grapegrowers (NVG), an association pivotal in defining the valley’s appellation structure and protecting its rich agriculture resources. In 2011, the family was honored with the Napa Valley Grower of the Year award, the first awarded to a family, rather than an individual. Bob and Alex’s love for Vine Hill Ranch is now shared by the third generation. The family feels profoundly blessed for their parents’ teaching the value of listening, learning, and caring for land and community—and for cultivating in them the heart of a grapegrower.
