ROBERT PARKER 97 POINTS - "Sitting on the valley floor just to the northeast of Vineyard 29 (north of Highway 29 north of St. Helena) is the Aida Estate – first brought to my attention when Larry Turley was producing some great Zinfandels from this site. It looks like Châteauneuf du Pape with plenty of rocks, and the Cabernet Sauvignon that emerges is owned by Vineyard 29, and it has been pretty sensational since the beginning. Vineyard 29 produces a reasonably priced Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that has been primarily for consumers looking for immediate gratification, as well as the restaurant trade."
"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida Estate (850 cases), is sensational and about as profound as Napa Cabernet can be. A wine of great intensity, inky purple color, notes of penny, graphite, blackberry and cassis, with a background of wet rock-minerality. The wine is dense, full-bodied, powerful and capable of lasting another 20-25 years."
