Cakebread Cellars Reviews: 1998 Vine Hill Ranch

1998 Cabernet Sauvignon
Vine Hill Ranch

Napa Valley


September 30, 2002
Beautifullly proportioned, intense and concentrated, with layers of spicy currant, plum, chocolate and dusty berry. Finishes with dry, earthy nuances and firm tannins that add to the pleasure. Drink now through 2010.
Wine Spectator gave this wine a score of 90 points.
