2009 Vineyard 29 Cru Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Quick Overview

Legendary winemaker Philippe Melka over delivers once again! The 2010 Cru Cabernet is a deep purple tinged wine of extraordinary depth and complexity. Primary aromas of dried red currant, ripe blackberries and milk chocolate give way to layers of fresh tobacco leaf, dried lavender and cedar. A generous palate offers roasted coffee, mocha, brambly black fruits and a touch of black pepper that slip seamlessly into a long supple finish. Stunning in mouthfeel, this profoundly textured wine will leave you wanting more. Well-integrated and balanced tannins give firm structure to this wine at release, yet are powerful enough to give our 2010 Cru many years of life. Open and enjoy our 2010 Cru Cabernet now and over the next 10 years.

2009 Vineyard 29 Cru Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

The cabernet sauvignon fruit for the wineries Cru is grown at some of the most amazing vineyard sites around the Napa Valley. These vineyards are carefully identified by our winemaking team for the special characteristics that the fruit will contribute to Cru, culminating in a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. We work with our Cru growers throughout the year, partnering in all aspects of wine growing from pruning to shoot positioning, irrigation, thinning and harvesting. Once harvested and at Vineyard 29, this stellar fruit follows the same vinification process as all the wines in Vineyards 29’s portfolio from meticulous hand sorting to gentle processing in our state of the art, gravity flow winery.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 92

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Beautifully crafted, big yet graceful, exhibiting a rich mix of dried berry, crushed rock and creamy mocha-laced oak. All comes to- gether nicely on the finish, and the chewy tannins give the flavors traction. Ends with smoky oak. Best from 2014 through 2026.
