2019 Vineyard 29 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

VIN98 The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate, 100% Cabernet, shows just how special this site in northern St. Helena planted in 1989 with Grace clone Cabernet is. Copious blackberry jam, espresso, chocolate, licorice and cloves saturate the palate. Readers will find a truly distinctive Cabernet built on aromatic intensity, huge fruit and equally potent tannins. Give it a few years to soften.
JD97 Just about pure perfection, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate offers an incredibly pure, nuanced, and complex as well as full-bodied style that’s just about impossible to resist. All Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate vineyard outside of St. Helena, aged 20 months in 85% new French oak, it offers ample cassis and darker currant-like fruits as well as violets, graphite, and freshly sharpened pencils. As seamless as they come, with beautiful tannins, it already offers pleasure today, yet I see no reason it won’t cruise for 20-25 years or more in cold cellars. There are 520 cases produced.
