2022 Annulus Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker Notes

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested from Block 2 of Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard, which sits on the western bench of the Oakville AVA in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains. Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard famously delivers fruit with lush aromatics and fine tannins.

“This is rich and dense, offering steeped plum, black currant and boysenberry reduction notes welded together with graphite, licorice root and walnut husk accents. There’s a broad feel and a deep tug of warm loam through the finish, with ample energy in reserve.”

— James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, August 2024

About Winery

Our name, Annulus, derived from the Latin word for “ring,” is an homage to the cycles and circles found in nature and those forged in the process of making and sharing wine. It is inspired by our deep appreciation of Napa Valley’s agricultural cycle that extends from dormancy to bud break to veraison to harvest. It celebrates the spirit of gathering that radiates from the circle of family and friends around our table to yours. 

Our Annulus motif is a visual representation of these circles and connections. It features an oak tree as a symbol of our family home in the Napa Valley.
