Tasting notes
My favorite of the trio of Cabernet Sauvignon releases from Keplinger, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard is all variety from a great site in the southern part of the Oakville appellation. Darker berries, chocolate, tobacco, and sweet earth-like notes all define the bouquet, and this beauty is full-bodied on the palate and has a layered, concentrated mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This vineyard excelled in the vintage, and you can clearly see that here. I love it today, yet I see no reason it shouldn't have 15+ years of prime drinking ahead of it.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch is a racy, succulent wine with plenty of lush fruit and no hard edges. Ripe dark cherry, mocha, plum, leather, incense and licorice all meld together in this plush yet mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon from Helen Keplinger.
