Ava Summary

AI generated

Vineyard 29 is a Napa Valley winery known for its exceptional wines crafted from unmatched vineyard sites and a commitment to "elevage" – raising each vintage as one would raise a child. Founded in 1989 by Chuck and Anne McMinn, the winery has evolved over the years, with significant milestones including the acquisition of the historic Aida vineyard in 2000 and the completion of its state-of-the-art, gravity-flow winery in 2004. The facility, designed by renowned architect John Lail, showcases a blend of traditional and modern techniques. Vineyard 29's portfolio includes Estate wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Zinfandel, as well as the C RU series, which features AVA-specific bottlings. The winery is led by veteran winemaker Keith Emerson, who took over as President and CEO in 2022 following Chuck McMinn's retirement. Vineyard 29 is deeply rooted in the St. Helena appellation and has expanded its portfolio to include four other estates: Vineyard 29 South, Railroad Estate, Winner Estate, and a total of 47 planted acres. The winery offers a sophisticated tasting experience, with reservations available for visitors to Napa Valley.
