The Winery
Vineyard 29
Vineyard 29 employs the most careful, patient (albeit time-consuming and labor intensive) techniques to create wines that fully express the potential of their vineyard heritage — their terroir. Applying the Old World theory of “elevage” — raising each vintage as one would raise a child — means giving the vines and the wine alike the height of gentle care and attention. By expressing this care, we strive to create a final product that is the highest representation of the vineyard and the climate in that year. Every piece of advanced machinery at Vineyard 29, beginning in the vineyards, enables us to treat our grapes with tremendous care, thus adhering to old world winemaking ideals through use of advanced modern technologies.
Summary
The Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate 2003 is a remarkable red wine from Napa Valley, crafted from a hillside parcel known for its exceptional fruit. This Cabernet blend showcases a deep, inky color and an aromatic profile rich in dark berries, spices, and floral notes. The palate reveals layers of blackberry, cherry, and mocha, complemented by hints of mint and cedar, all enveloped in velvety tannins. With a solid structure and aging potential, this wine is both powerful and refined, making it a standout choice for collectors. The wine is produced in limited quantities, allowing for a rich and concentrated experience. It consists of Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Tasting Notes
- WA92
- The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2003 Vineyard 29 boasts a pure nose of creme de cassis, cedar and spice box. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, good minerality and a rich, stylish personality, this impeccably well-made 2003 has the potential for further evolution. While close to full maturity, it should have no problem evolving for another decade.
