Vine Hill Ranch is on a roll. Owners Bruce and Heather Phillips have put together an all star team consisting of vineyard manager Mike Wolf and winemaker Françoise Peschon, both of whom know how to get the best out of this site on the southern edge of Oakville. Most of the fruit off the ranch still goes to long-term buyers, but over the years, the Philippses have gradually increased production of their own wine to about 750 cases. Vine Hill Ranch, with its classically-leaning profile, is one of the most distinctive wines in Napa Valley.

These are two gorgeous Cabernets from Vine Hill Ranch, which continues to cement its place in Napa Valley's top echelon. The Phillips family, along with vineyard guru Mike Wolf and winemaker Françoise Peschon, make a formidable team. The Vine Hill Ranch Cabernets are distinguished by great balance, mid-weight structure and tremendous energy. As good as the wines can be in open vintages such as 2009 or 2012, the Vine Hill Ranch Cabernets need at least a few years in bottle to blossom and give every impression of being age worthy. Stylistically, the wines are perhaps just a touch more restrained than the wines Peschon made at Araujo Estate. Classicists take note; Vine Hill Ranch is one of the very best and most pedigreed wines in Napa Valley.
