Baker & Hamilton, Oakville – Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 ($129)

Jan 29, 2025

By Roger Morris
Wine label

This wine has an excellent pedigree – Vine Hill Ranch, lots of new French oak – and the flavors are good, but I just wish it had more presence. It’s mild and mellow, well-balanced with dried blueberry flavors and good savory notes, yet it doesn’t seem to have the assertiveness that would make it a really great wine.
