This has a well-defined violet note out front, followed quickly by dark currant plum reduction flavors lined with graphite and backed by sweet tobacco. Shows solid grip too, with a lingering twang of iron. Very solid for the vintage. Best from 2024 through 2036. - JM

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals expressive notes of mocha, licorice and dark chocolate, plus plenty of mixed red and black cherries. It's full-bodied, framed by soft tannins, but it still retains some dustiness on the lingering finish. - Joe Czerwinski

The 2020 Baker & Hamilton Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple-black in color. It comes bounding out of the glass with notes of juicy blueberries, blackberry pie, and blackcurrant jelly, with hints of chocolate box, licorice, and vanilla pod. The medium to full-bodied palate is open-knit and expressive, with plush, velvety tannins and beautiful harmony, finishing with a spicy kick. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Made by the team of Vine Hill Ranch and functioning as a second wine of the estate, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is a ripe, medium to full-bodied, balanced Oakville Cabernet offering plenty of cherry and darker currant-like fruit, some spicy oak and graphite notes, solid mid-palate depth, and outstanding length.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is soft, fruity and easy to like. Succulent red plum fruit, rose petals, spice, and blood orange are front and center. This is a tasty, easygoing Cabernet Sauvignon to drink now and over the next handful of years. There is just a bit of chocolatey dustiness in the tannin. -- Antonio Galloni
