Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate 2018 750ml

Vineyard 29 takes its name from its address on Highway 29 just north of St. Helena, where its estate vineyard produces the flagship 29 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. 2018 was a long, cool and generous growing season in Napa Valley, and it brought out a striking elegance in this wine. Vinous called it one of the most elegant wines yet from the estate, with rich, dark blue-toned fruit, licorice, lavender and chocolate unfolding in layers over time, all carried by bright energy and clear definition. Polished and balanced, it is enjoyable now with a decant but has the depth to reward cellaring through the late 2030s.
