The gorgeously proportioned flagship offering, the 2003 Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon (aged 18 months in French oak; 550 cases produced) boasts a beautiful Chateau Margaux-like perfume of flowers, creme de cassis, graphite, and subtle toasty oak. Beautifully textured, rich, and full-bodied as well as strikingly elegant and nuanced, this beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15+ years. (Release date 11/06)Tel.

The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2003 Vineyard 29 boasts a pure nose of creme de cassis, cedar and spice box. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, good minerality and a rich, stylish personality, this impeccably well-made 2003 has the potential for further evolution. While close to full maturity, it should have no problem evolving for another decade. Chuck and Anne McMinn’s hillside vineyard north of St. Helena has been on fire (figuratively) over the last decade and the quality of their wines has been impressive. Tel.
