Blackberry and raspberry aromas, very youthful flavors, outstanding depth and complexity, amazing balance, doesn’t show any real heat (even at 14.5% ABV), very long, lingering finish, just a great Zinfandel blend!! — 7 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I have either 1 or 2 more bottles, and I’ll be trying to hold it another 2-4 years at least. It should definitely continue to improve from where it is now.

Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Talk about getting better with age. Enjoyed the ‘09 vintage on Valentine’s Day 2026. 17 years and worth the wait. Deep, dark, luscious with each and every sip. — 7 months ago

Cakebread Cellars

Vine Hill Ranch Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Cherry, vanilla, black berry.. on sweeter end of a cab. I know there are finer wines out there, but cake bread has consistently been some of my favorite wine for years now. I always look forward to a package when it arrives! — 8 months ago

Dutton Ranch Freestone Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

Really spicy. Wowza. Asian spices and dried herbs, makes it more spicy. I wouldn’t say it’s mouth watering but it is lingering and hangs around for awhile. Rather unique, I think. — 5 years ago

Big polished and showing a hint of heat. Happily the oak isn’t too pronounced. For me this baby needs time. — 3 months ago

Maritana Vineyards

Dutton Ranch Hansen Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Light golden in color.

On the nose ripe lemons, yellow apples, oak, light butter, citrus, vanilla, Indian spices, light honeysuckle and light tangerines.

Full bodied, creamy and bold, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with red apples, oak, vanilla, citrus, spices, sea salt, white pepper and light earth.

Nice length on the finish with lemons and almonds.

This is a very tasty Chardonnay from Russian River Valley. Showing nice complexity, especially on the nose. I really enjoyed the nose more than the palate.

This four year old is drinking very nicely now with lots of oak and vanilla notes. Still very fresh.

Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 30 minutes of airtime.

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is a good quality wine, that will continue to age nicely in the next five years. I've had this vintage a year ago, and it is much better now.

Nicely balanced with a great mouth feel. Buttery and creamy, and better when not very cold.

Aged in French oak barrels. A small production of only 350 cases.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$90.

Walker Vine Hill Syrah 2005

2005 Vintage.14.8% Alcohol. Need to open with an Ah So type opener, not a corkscrew as the corks have become brittle over time. Thank goodness for the thick bright blue wax seal as it likely saved this bottle from being corked. — 5 years ago

Memento Mori

Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Unusual to be drinking a wine this young. Decanted 45min to begin. Nose somewhat muted, though dark fruit and oak are there. Inky purple. Great ripe black and blue fruit. Could still use more time in the air to blend together, but the minerality and earthiness is definitely there to match the fruit. Nice med-long finish. Decanting 2+ hours recommended. — 5 years ago
