“Beautifully balanced and impeccably integrated, this compelling new release marries velvety richness with a polished, high-end sensibility that tastes far above its astonishing price point (compared to its famed Napa neighbors). The bouquet is immediately seductive with ethereal dark fruit, baking spice, dried flowers, and a hint of savory herbs, while the palate delivers smooth waves of blackberry, cherry, and plum with a touch of vanilla. Chewy, serious tannins provide structure without hardness, giving the wine real presence and an ‘it’ factor that recalls top sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains/Santa Cruz AVA style: glossy fruit, freshness, and savory nuance over brute weight. Decant on opening and enjoy now through 2030.” - California Wine Advisors (3/2026)

“Lush and fruit-driven aromas of blood plums, black currants, mocha, blueberry compote, licorice, potpourri and spices. The palate is textural and rounded, with fine tannins, bright acidity and a fruit-driven and complex finish. This is Vine Hill Ranch’s second label. Drink or hold.” - James Suckling
