“A large production (about 5,500 cases) of Cabernet Sauvignon from purchased fruit, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru is meant to be drunk by eager consumers unable to defer gratification, as well as any restaurant looking for a realistically priced and delicious, dense Napa Cabernet. The 2013, which is no surprise, is basically two-thirds from St. Helena-area vineyards, and is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. It has terrific aromatics of spring flowers, licorice, tobacco leaf, charcoal and a touch of graphite. The superb aromatics lead to a seductive, juicy, soft, round opulent style of wine, with medium to full body, an opaque purple color, and gorgeous ripeness and richness. (RP)” (10/2015)

“One of the best values in Napa Valley Cabernet, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru is quite aromatic and savory in this vintage. Sweet red cherry jam, espresso and wild flowers add nuance as this plump, expressive Cabernet shows off its racy personality. As always, the Cru delivers superb quality and value in a rich, super-ripe style that is the hallmark of the Vineyard 29 wines. Hints of graphite and mocha add the final shades of nuance. (AG)” (10/2015)

Vineyard 29’s CRU Cabernet sits alongside the estate’s single-vineyard bottlings as its Napa Valley appellation Cabernet, with fruit selected from multiple Napa sites and handled by the same cellar team. The 2015 Napa vintage was marked by a small crop, making this a useful look at the producer’s broader Cabernet program.

Wine Advocate
“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru delivers a wonderfully plumy, baked cherry and mulberry-laced nose with hints of cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves and chocolate box. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a great intensity of ripe black fruit and spicy layers, with a grainy backbone and great freshness, finishing long. (LBP) 92+” (12/2017)

“The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru is gorgeous. Dark, plush and inviting, the 2015 offers notable density and richness. Dark red and purplish fruit, spice, cloves and licorice all flesh out in the glass. A move towards lower toast levels in the barrels really allows the fruit to pop. Once again, Vineyard 29's Cru bottling is one of the best values in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Don't miss it. (AG)” (01/2018)
