Excellent. So much better than the '12. Perfumy. Burst of fruit up front, followed by some leather. Long finish. Even better than when I last tasted it. I totally see why this wine has a cult-like following. Bravo Vineyard 29.

Jun 7th, 2017Enjoying the 2013 CRU by Vineyard 29. Much better than the '12. Dark juicy fruit with tobacco. This was decanted about 90 minutes, but tannins aren't too bad.

PnP. Dark red/purple color. Meaty, earthy nose! Wine tastes like mix between Napa Cab and Syrah/Rhone. I thought this was fairly bold and juicy, but Brooke disagreed.

2021 vintage. Unique and differently styled than other Napa cabs. Diamond Creek/leaner texture/weight. This is ridiculous value as their entry-level bleep. 2.28.24.

Feb 8th, 2024PnP. Dark red color. Nose seems a little oxidized on the nose, which was strange as the cork was good. Fruit forward with plums, blackberries, and subtle anise. Medium plus depth and finish. Not what I remember from V29.
