A great buy in small-production Napa Cabernet from Vineyard 29.
97+ Points Robert Parker: "The Vineyard 29 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida Estate is very close in quality to the 29 Estate bottling, with perhaps a touch more concentration and tannin. There's less herbal nuance to the fruit, leaving black cherries to take the lead, backed by cedary oak and hints of dusty earth, while the palate is full-bodied and structured, leaving little doubt regarding this wine's potential longevity. Thankfully, the considerable tannins are fully ripe, leaving a softly dusty sensation to linger on the finish."
97 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another gem of a wine from this estate, the Vineyard 29 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida Estate includes 1% Petit Verdot and spent 20 months in French oak. It has a darker red and blue-slanted fruit profile as well as some classic tobacco, scorched earth, and graphite aromatics. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with a seamless, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, building tannins, and a pure, focused style that will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age. The balance, purity, and sheer class here are top notch, and this will see its 20th birthday in fine form. (Drink between 2025 - 2043)."
96 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Vineyard 29 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida Estate is a super-classic wine from this sector of St. Helena. Dark, sumptuous and beautifully resonant, the 2021 wraps around the palate with striking depth. Black fruit, mocha, new leather, spice and espresso all build over time. A focus on Cabernet Sauvignon over blenders in recent years has paid off big time."
Vineyards 29 is located north of the town of St. Helena eastern facing slope at the base of the Mayacamas mountain range which forms the western boundary of the Napa Valley. Founded by Teresa Norton and Tom Paine who moved to Napa in 1989 to simply retire. Instead, the two were influenced to begin planning wine once they realized the estate was perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. So Vineyard 29 was born with only 3 acres. Then 3 years later Teresa and Tom released their first vintage!
