Vineyard 29 Cru Series The Essentials Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
A great buy in small-production Napa Cabernet from Vineyard 29. 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.

Always enjoyable. PnP. Deep dark purple color. Licorice and anise on the nose and throughout. Medium plus depth. Will get even better with age.

Better than the Groth. More refined and rustic. Lovely texture. Will get much better with age as definitely drinking young. Always a treasure!

Solid Napa Cab, lush tannins, could use more time in bottle.
