Aida Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Their Cabernet fruits are nice, ripe and pretty. They should be cellared 10 years before opening one.

Again, the M+ tannin profile along with their level new wood use is extremely dominant and primary young. This was astringent and felt like I had sucked on a wood plank.

The fruits & florals beautiful. Better things lie ahead for this with cellaring. 93-96 in 10-15 years.

Having had many Napa 21’s at this point, this didn’t live up to the balance & softer styles of others I had young.

Might have picked up one of the more recent offerings but pestered them for some (roughly) decade old stuff previously. Feminine styled efforts that hold up more than decently. Doesn't appeal to the vast majority of Napa cabbage fans but those that get it, get it.

The Essentials St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

2019 vintage. That V29 style. Lean, yet silken, with indirect push throughout the palate. Smoother than the 2018 V29 Aida (tasted side by side). Excellent, subtle concentration for the duration of the experience. Nice juice. 10.18.23. — 2 years ago

As Zinfandel’s go, (not my favorite varietal) this was nice, ripe, not overly jammy and showed nice purple flowers. Requires another 3-5 yrs in the cellar. 91-93 with cellaring. — 14 days ago

The Essentials Aida Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

2014 vintage. Mid-palate conundrum currently and waiting for it to resolve/head to respective corners. Medium body. Give it another 3-4 years. Usual V29 style evident at the start and finish but a bit of a blood clot in between. 06.11.25. — a month ago
