Summary

The Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 1994 is a blend that showcases the quality of Napa's renowned 1994 vintage. Sourced from St. Helena, this wine is a reflection of the estate's early second label, crafted for earlier enjoyment with a focus on value. Tasting notes reveal a rich profile of cassis and black cherry, complemented by cedar and graphite. As it evolves, nuances of tobacco, leather, and dried herbs emerge, offering depth and complexity. With an alcohol content of approximately 13.5% and modest new French oak influence, this structured wine is best enjoyed soon after decanting to fully appreciate its vibrant character.

Tasting Notes

WA90

From a 3-acre vineyard, four hundred cases were produced of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak casks, it is a tightly-knit, black currant-scented wine with plenty of sweet oak, as well as powerful, rich flavors that have been melded into a restrained, elegant, authoritatively flavorful wine. Patience is mandatory as this black beauty needs 4-5 more years of cellaring; it should keep for two decades.

WS90

Marked by spice, cedar and dill notes, with just enough ripe cherry and currant flavors to fill in the gaps. Fans out with more flavor and depth with aeration. Best to cellar short-term. Best after 2000. 490 cases made.
