2021 Keplinger Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch

James Suckling 99 – “So much cassis, earth and spices with graphite and anise undertones. Full-bodied with plush tannins that are cashmere-like in their texture and so long and caressing. Pure cabernet sauvignon. A superb red for 2021. Needs three or four years of bottle age but already gorgeous.”

Jeb Dunnuck 98 – “The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch comes from a warmer site on the west side of the valley and is a bigger, broad, still incredibly seamless wine that has classic red and black fruits supported by notes of scorched earth, leafy tobacco, and dark chocolate. With a beautiful mid-palate, ripe, velvety tannins, and just a layered, majestic style, it deserves 3-5 years in the cellar and will cruise over the following two decades.”
