“The new 2018 vintage is another masterpiece and the most impressive new release we’ve ever judged from this acclaimed Estate. Bravo! Dark purple-colored, this nectar offers a hypnotic perfume of lilacs and red roses plus Darjeeling tea. The texture is weighty - - think heavy corduroy - - and delivers an array of captivating dark fruit flavors balanced by a freshness we find obsession-inducing. Starting with deep & dark smoky oak, cassis, black currants, and blackberry liqueur. Notes of chocolate intermingle with spicy black fruits deftly balanced with hints of dark cocoa on the finish fit for a thoroughbred! This Cabernet blend is monumental in stature now and, without doubt, promises to offer a transcendental experience for the next 10-15 years, peaking at perfection between 2027-2033 in our estimate. That said, don't wait for this thrill ride; go ahead and pop a cork tonight for a true show-stopper experience (after decanting for 30 minutes!) with grilled meats or aged cheeses!” - California Wine Advisors (June, 2022)

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate offers up intense notes of warm cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, blackberry preserves and wild blueberries with hints of smoked meats, cast iron pan, Indian spices and mossy tree bark in the undercurrent. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is taut and tightly wound, featuring muscular black fruits and a very firm, grainy texture, finishing long and mineral laced.” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate is one of the most elegant wines I have tasted from Vineyard 29. Bright and beautifully delineated with striking energy, the 29 Estate is so impressive. Rich dark blue-toned fruit, licorice lavender and chocolate infuse the 2018 with layers of nuance that continue to unfold over time. This is such a gorgeous wine.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
