2019 BAKER & HAMILTON OAKVILLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON "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. 789 cases made." 95 Points "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. Why wait?" 94 Points "The inaugural release of Baker & Hamilton from Bruce Phillips, whose family owns Vine Hill Ranch in Oakville, so you can guess where the Cabernet grapes are sourced from! Incredibly powerful and intricate aromas of black cherry, chocolate, black peppercorns, pencil shavings and lavish oak. Medium-bodied on entry and more restrained than the nose: delicate boysenberry, raspberry and candied cherry framed by an iron-like minerality. Intricate tannins are fleshy and supple, building to a dry finish that is a touch smoky. Françoise Peschon is the winemaker. One to watch." 94 Points "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." 94 Points
