Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon rolls out of the glass with expressive scents of freshly crushed black cherries, warm cassis, and juicy blackberries followed by hints of menthol, dark chocolate, licorice, and cinnamon stick plus a fragrant waft of violets. The full-bodied palate is densely laden with vibrant black fruits and loads of baking spice sparks, framed by exquisitely ripe tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing very long and achingly perfumy. 946 cases were made.

About the Producer
The Phillips family has been farming since the 1950's and have been dedicated to the land and the industry for multiple generations. The family has been apart of the Farm bureau and Napa Valley Grapegrowers. In 2011, the family was awarded the Napa Valley Grower of the Year award. Francois Peschon joined the team in 2008. She was very much drawn to the families legacy and their determination to craft a wine of place from their estate vineyards. She states "Creating a wine of place has as much to do with the human element as it does the site-integrity to keep out of the way and let the land speak for itself. VHR is all about the vineyard."
