Vineyard 29 Cru Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

A great buy in small-production Napa Cabernet from Vineyard 29. 92 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru Napa Valley is outstanding, and at the less than the $100 price point, it’s about as good as it gets! Ripe cassis, flowers, spicy oak, and tobacco notes all emerge from the glass, and it’s a ripe, round, wonderfully textured Cabernet that will shine for a decade or more." 92 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru is fabulous. A gorgeous, entry-level offering, the Cru Cabernet opens with bright, captivating aromatics. Medium in body, fresh and juicy, the 2018 is an absolute delight to taste today. Black cherry, mocha, licorice and chocolate are all laced together in this hugely appealing Cabernet from Vineyard 29. Drink it over the next handful of years." While the Estate wines express the terroir of their specific locations, Vineyard 29's Cru Cabernet showcases the broader character of wine-growing regions, and is an interpretation of classic wines from the Napa Valley. "It's all about making the wine in the vineyard" is how Keith Emerson, Director of Winemaking at Vineyard 29, describes the philosophy behind the Cru wines. Everything from site selection, crop yield, and picking decisions are made with the final blend in mind. This deliberate, detail-oriented winemaking results in elegantly composed wines that depict the best characteristics of their region. Cru Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of fruit from exceptional valley floor and hillside vineyards throughout Napa Valley. It is hand-crafted in the gravity flow winery and is an introduction to Vineyard 29's style - elegance and quality.
