A wine with rich fruit, big structure, and backbone....were the words that came to mind when I tasted the 2007 Vineyard 29 CRU. So far I have been enticed with this remarkable vintage. This wine speaks true to Robert Parker's words, "extraordinary fragrance and gorgeously seamless personalities, with sweet noble tannins as well as terrific concentration and length. It is a very exciting vintage."  The enticing aromas envelope you into a glass full of vanilla and bright cherries, the palate has a soft, velvety, and smooth texture with espresso, chocolate, and luscious fruit. What is really amazing is that Vineyard 29 puts together such a strong wine for only $50 a bottle. Their tremendous care, artful approach, and dedication to quality puts this wine at the top of my radar every year. They are on the pursuit for "perfection" at all tiers of their wine portfolio. Don't miss out on this gorgeous wine!
