The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate is one of the successes of the year. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice and leather all race across the palate. The 2020 is heady and bombastic to the core. Making a wine of this level, with all that entailed in 2020, is quite an achievement.

Tasting Notes

Features signature aromas of violets, lilacs, and black currants. It is described as "heady and bombastic" with layers of fresh blueberries, dark chocolate cherries, and long, fine-grained tannins.

Winemaker Notes

True to its site, to 2020 '29 Estate' Cabernet Sauvignon opens with signature violets, lilacs and black currents. Full and dense upon entry and through the mid-palate, ths wine presents layers upon layers of fresh blueberries, black cassis and dark chocolate covered cherries. Deeply concentrated with long, drawnout fine-grained tannins that provide weight and structure. A viscous, velvety texture is delicately balanced by bright acidity that brings verve to a long, tenacious finish. Extremely limited production due to miniscule yields, this wine will lay down and age beauitifully over the next couple of decades.
