"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a potent, brooding wine. Still quite tannic, the 2013 possesses tremendous depth married to vibrancy, all in a virile style that is going to require patience. Gravel, scorched earth, cloves, menthol and dried herbs are all kicked up in this potent, structured Cabernet. Graphite, sage, tobacco, menthol and licorice lead into the savory, mineral finish. I wouldn't dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. The 2013 captures the purest essence of Vine Hill Ranch."
Wine Advocate, 96+ Points
"A slightly higher production of 775 cases was made with the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a prodigious Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of creosote, camphor and burning embers, which give it an almost Graves-like character, but then the rich, creamy, pure blackberry and cassis fruit kick in. The wine has fabulous intensity, a multi-layered, dense, full-bodied texture and terrific finish. The tannins are slightly more dominant than in the 2012, but they offer sweetness and creaminess as opposed to any astringency or harshness, This is a modern-day classic from Vine Hill Ranch and probably the finest wine they have ever made. Drink it over the next 30+ years."
