Producer Information
Vineyard 29 is a cult wine producer based in Napa Valley. The winery, owned by Chuck and Anne McMinn, is acclaimed for its wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon from their Estate and Aida vineyards, as well as and old-vine Zinfandel from the latter. The estate was founded by Teresa Norton and Tom Paine in 1989, who planted a three acre (1.2 hectare) vineyard on their Saint Helena property. They named it for their address – 2929 on California’s State Route 29. Vineyard 29’s first vintage was in 1992, and was made at Grace Family Vineyards by Gary Galleron. In 1995, renowned winemaker Heidi Barrett came on as winemaker and, in 1999, the equally lauded Philippe Melka took the reins. In 2000 the McMinns bought the winery, and added the Aida Vineyard to the portfolio, as well as building a new state-of-the-art winery and hiring high profile viticulturist David Abreu. Everything from temperature to humidity is monitored by computer, and moisture probes were installed in the vineyards to measure when and how much to irrigate the vines.
