On a steep slope of east Oakville’s Vaca Mountains is a small vineyard owned by the Harter family. First planted to Cabernet Sauvignon by Bill Harter in 1974, its red iron-rich soils are prized by its world-renowned neighbors.
Producer: Tor Country: United States Varietal: Red Wine
The best value in the Tor lineup—at least for the moment—is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Vaca Ridge Vineyard, from the east side of Oakville. It includes 15% Cabernet Franc, giving the nose some dried-herb complexity to go with scents of crushed stone and mixed red and black cherries. In the mouth, it's full-bodied and concentrated, supple and rich, with a long, tannic finish.
