Vineyard 29
Aida Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
Their Cabernet fruits are nice, ripe and pretty. They should be cellared 10 years before opening one.
Again, the M+ tannin profile along with their level new wood use is extremely dominant and primary young. This was astringent and felt like I had sucked on a wood plank.
The fruits & florals beautiful. Better things lie ahead for this with cellaring. 93-96 in 10-15 years.
Having had many Napa 21’s at this point, this didn’t live up to the balance & softer styles of others I had young.
