Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2002

The 1999 Vecina, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offering, exhibits aromas of graphite, tar, coffee, and creme de cassis. It is more austere and less charming and seductive than the 1999 "S". This powerful, muscular Cabernet will be at its best between 2006-2020. (Release date 4/03) Tel. (707) 944-1441; Fax (707) 944-1444

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2003

(like the Melbury, this is from 100% cabernet sauvignon planted in 1990) Ruby-red. Explosive, wild nose combines roasted red berries, grilled meat, tar, brown sugar, mocha and truffle. Dense but juicy, with more power and thrust than the '99 Melbury but not quite the same early appeal. Intriguing notes of smoke, herbs and truffle. Finishes with very smooth, fine tannins. 92 points

Wine Spectator, January 2003

Wonderful complexity, richness and purity of flavor, with layers of herb, currant, earth and juicy wild berry, turning to a touch of balsamic. Loads of flavor and a long, intricate aftertaste. Best from 2005 through 2013. 225 cases made. –JL

About Winery

Vecina, which means "neighbor" in Spanish, was inspired by beautifully terraced slopes on the western foothills above Oakville.

This site faces east, favorably positioning the vineyard to receive morning sun and the cooling influence of San Pablo Bay. Rich in color and generous on the palate. Vecina displays an essence of intensity and power.
