VHR, Vine Hill Ranch
Since 1959, Bob and Alex Phillips have quietly sold the fruit from their well-situated Oakville vineyard just to the west of Highway 29 to several top producers around the valley, including the likes of Lail, Etude and Bond (Vecina comes from Vine Hill Ranch), with each client working with the same block of vines each year.The estate is now managed by Bruce Phillips and his wife Heather, who decided to bottle a limited quantity of wine under their own label as of the 2008 vintage, drawing from their eight distinct blocks and using about 75% new oak.Francoise Peschon, winemaker for Araujo Estate from 1993 through 2008, has directed winemaking at Vine Hill Ranch from 2008.As I reported last year, the 2010 here was a knockout and the young 2012 promises to be at the same high level.
