St. Helena

Description
From a single block at Railroad Estate Vineyard in St. Helena, this 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the precision and artistry of Vineyard 29. Crafted from Clone 6 on 3309C rootstock and harvested in the cool evening hours of September 9, the grapes were optically sorted and gently handled in the estate's gravity-flow facility. Aged 20 months in new Taransaud Medium Plus French oak, the wine embodies the power, concentration, and richness characteristic of Vineyard 29, while retaining a youthful vibrancy. Limited in production, this lot is a rare collector's treasure, offering a singular expression of Napa Valley elegance and meticulous estate craftsmanship.

Keith Emerson
Winemaker, Vineyard 29
I have been making wine since 1998 beginning at Cakebread Cellars and after that, became enologist at Sonoma's historical Gundlach Bundschu Winery. In 2004 a sabbatical took me to Martinborough, New Zeland to work the harvest for Palliser Estate Wines. Since 2005, I have been Director of Winemaking (and now President & CEO) for Vineyard 29 overseeing the winery's portfolio as well as that of the ultra-premium custom crush clientele. In addition to my own brands, Emerson Brown, atLarge and Sonria, I also make wine for Robert Craig Winery, Vinoce, Knighton Family, Labry, Sang-Froid, Vineyard 36, Martin Ray and Gundlach Bundschu.
