Vineyard 29 Cabernet CRU 2019

This superbly balanced wine could fool any connoisseur into thinking it cost much higher than its price tag. The aromas of blackberry, cigar box, dried herbs, and toasty oak spices waft out of the glass, and the structured palate with dusty, dry tannins lead to a long, chocolate-covered cherry finish. – October 2022 Read Full Review →

Fans of Rhone Style Reds and Cabernet Sauvignon will both delight... Read Full Review →
