Vineyard 29 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

A perfect representation of all that I love about Napa cab. Tannic but balanced, black fruit, deliciousness. Return.

I've had my second tasting of the RP 100, and I was struck by the impressive nose. The wine's unique character is truly one-of-a-kind. I've never encountered anything like it before. The ending is remarkably long, but not as lengthy as the Fortuna I tasted three weeks prior. The Aida's flavor profile is reminding of high-end Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which is why I believe it earned the coveted 100 points from Robert Parker. Many of the wine's enthusiasts prefer the Aida, which scored 98 points.

Complex, dense, and richly textured wine with a deep, velvety texture, featuring undertones of dried fruit, black licorice, and honey, balanced by a full, dense, and grippy structure, accompanied by undertones of dried prune, tobacco, and cola, with a elegant herbal undertone.
