Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Napa Valley 2019 750ml

Vineyard 29's Estate Cabernet Sauvignon comes from its namesake site in northern St. Helena, planted in 1989 with the prized Grace clone. The 2019, made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon, earned 98 points from Vinous, and Antonio Galloni said it shows just how special this vineyard is. Expect copious blackberry jam, espresso, chocolate, licorice and cloves saturating a palate built on aromatic intensity, huge fruit and equally potent tannins. Jeb Dunnuck called it "just about pure perfection," praising its purity, nuance and full-bodied, irresistible style. The excellent 2019 Napa vintage gave both depth and freshness. Give it a few years to soften; it should age gracefully for two decades.
