Summary

The Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, vintage 2006, showcases the winery's dedication to high-quality production with its state-of-the-art gravity-flow cave winery. This cuvée, known as "The Essentials," predominantly features Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from both estate vineyards and select Napa sites. The wine has benefited from French oak aging, resulting in a polished structure and a harmonious profile. As it reaches peak maturity, it reveals an intriguing complexity with notes of cassis, blackberry, and cocoa, complemented by subtle hints of cedar and graphite. The overall experience is enriched with a balanced acidity and soft tannins, making it a remarkable representation of Napa's terroir.

Tasting Notes

WA95

There are between 400-450 cases of the Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard 29 Estate, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee. The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard 29 Estate reveals extraordinary elegance for this vintage as well as a perfume of sweet black currants, dark cherries, and notions of chocolate, licorice, and smoke. Deep, textured, and beautifully balanced with no hard edges (an anomaly for a 2006), this full-bodied, seductive effort can be drunk now or cellared for two decades.
