Deep and dark ruby red. A bit elegant on the attack of the nose with purple flowers leading into a rich undertone of cassis, blackberries and a bit of woodiness. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) with a full body. Thick and lush palate coated in black cherries, black currants, dark powdered cocoa, gravel and lots of baking spices. Dry and long finish. Drink from 2025 till 2043.

Made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 20 months in 85% new French oak. Only 675 cases produced. (94+)

The Vineyard 29 Estate Cabernet was paired with “Slow-Cooked Duck Confit Cassoulet in Pork Au Jus with White Bean Savory Herbs and Croutons.”

The nose reals nice floral, blue and purple laced fruits. Dark currants, ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum with some baked strawberries. Dark rich soils, nicely layered baking spices; cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, vanilla. Dark spice, liqueured notes, saddle-wood, leather light fresh tobacco with dark fresh floral bouquet with violets.

The body is full, round, rich and velvety. The tannins are silky with a finish of dust. Dark currants, ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum with some baked strawberries. Dark rich soils, nicely layered baking spices; cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, vanilla. Dark spice, liqueured notes, milk chocolate, mocha powder, saddle-wood, leather light fresh tobacco with dark fresh floral bouquet with violets. Very nice acidity. Beautiful finish that is juicy and well balanced.

Photos of; Vineyard 29, wall of library wines, center wall of their tasting room with logo, and their large oak fermentation vats that are the first thing you see as you enter Vineyard 29.
