Proprietor Chuck McMinn and winemaker Keith Emerson are in the midst of a slight stylistic evolution at Vineyard 29. The wines now have a bit more freshness and energy than in the past, yet still retain the textural richness that the estate’s fans have come to expect. This transition is hard to see with the 2017 reds because the conditions of the year pulled the wines in the opposite direction but is quite evident in the 2018s. I found the young 2018s captivating and alluring.

Proprietor Chuck McMinn and longtime winemaker Keith Emerson turned out a gorgeous set of 2016s. As I wrote last year, the Vineyard 29 wines are a bit more energetic than they were just a few years ago, but remain very much bold and racy in style. The two 2017s I tasted point to another promising vintage at Vineyard 29.
