It’s all about making the wine in the vineyard” is how Keith Emerson, Director of Winemaking at Vineyard 29, describes the philosophy behind making our Cru Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything from site selection, crop yield, and picking decisions are made with the final blend in mind. This is deliberate, detail-oriented winemaking resulting in an elegantly composed wine that depicts the best of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

90pts The Wine Advocate – 2016 vintage

“The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru has a deep purple-black color and features a very pretty perfume of roses and violets over a core of warm cassis and blueberry pie plus wafts of mossy bark and yeast extract. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with perfumed, juicy black fruits, supported by a plush frame and finishing with a peppery kick.”

92pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 2015 vintage

“The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru is gorgeous. Dark, plush and inviting, the 2015 offers notable density and richness. Dark red and purplish fruit, spice, cloves and licorice all flesh out in the glass. A move towards lower toast levels in the barrels really allows the fruit to pop. Once again, Vineyard 29’s Cru bottling is one of the best values in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Don’t miss it.”
