Tasting notes
Baker & Hamilton's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon features a charming mix of red and black cherries, no real herbal notes and some cedar and vanilla nuances. Made entirely from Vine Hill Ranch fruit (It's under the same ownership), it's medium to full-bodied, open-knit, velvety and ready to drink now and for the next decade. The benchland blocks for this label are selected for their approachability, versus the upland areas that go into the more concentrated and structured flagship VHR bottling.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon also comes from more blocks in the estate vineyard compared to 2020 (due to a strict selection,) and it can be thought of as a second wine for the estate. All Cabernet Sauvignon, it sports a deep purple hue to go with a vibrant nose of cassis and ripe blue fruits as well as spring flowers, violets, and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, and elegant on the palate, it's beautifully layered and has a great finish.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely gorgeous. Bright and nuanced, with tons of energy, the 2021 impresses with its vibrancy. This mid-weight, energetic Cabernet is a total charmer. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petals, spice and pomegranate are beautifully delineated. Polish and sophistication are the calling cards here.
