April 22, 2022 - Napa in Philly - Benefiting CureDuchenne (Fitler Club): About to be released, I was able to get a sample of this poured from none other than Steve the founder of A&B who was present for this event. This has all the hallmark characteristics of Vine Hill. I vaguely remember block 4 (Clone 4) and Block 3A (or 3B) which is clone 337 is where A&B got their fruit. Will be locking up a 3 bottle order shortly. I was also impressed with the 2018 A&B Right Bank Blend (95-96) which was very accessible, with a good chunk of Cab Franc leading the way (47%). Worth considering at $150, and the 2018 Black Label at $125 was solid value.
Will need a 2019 Vine Hill showdown with Memento and VHR in the near future.3 people found this helpful 2,068 views
