"There are between 400-450 cases of the Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard 29 Estate, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée. The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard 29 Estate reveals extraordinary elegance for this vintage as well as a perfume of sweet black currants, dark cherries, and notions of chocolate, licorice, and smoke. Deep, textured, and beautifully balanced with no hard edges (an anomaly for a 2006), this full-bodied, seductive effort can be drunk now or cellared for two decades . . . . The east-facing hillside Vineyard 29 turns out superb Cabernet Sauvignon, but again there is not much of it. While the Cru negociant Cabernet Sauvignon represents 3,000 cases, there are just under 700 cases of the estate Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2006 Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon is a tiny production of only 440 cases."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
St. Helena is a warm valley-floor sub-AVA in Napa Valley, California, producing rich, ripe and generously fruited Cabernet Sauvignon of supple tannins, plush texture and classic Napa structure.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
