The 2015 growing season experienced weather extremities that led to a small, yet outstanding, vintage. 2015 was the earliest harvest in Cakebread Cellars’ 40+ year history. A warm, dry winter fostered early bud-break. A warm summer ensured beautiful ripening.

Ripe, boysenberry, blackcurrant and black fig aromas, hints of loam, mineral and toasted oak, preface a concentrated palate featuring, lush dark cherry, boysenberry and cassis flavors. Tightly structured by firm yet supple tannins and crisp acidity, the Vine Hill displays a density and power found in only the finest Cabernet Sauvignons. It culminates in a long, savory finish showcasing rich, earthy, black fruit flavors refreshed by cool mineral tones. Delicious in its youth, Vine Hill will flourish with another decade of bottle aging.
