Beau Vigne Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Our job is to ensure that what we taste will be greatly enjoyed by others. Time is precious, and trust is a must. So when we started our work day pouring these two wines into glasses for a taste to determine if we should share them with you, it was an easy decision. Twenty years ago, we championed this inaugural project with an excitement felt when sharing something outstanding with an audience of wine enthusiasts. The past titillation is fresh as we sip and share our thoughts with you today.

Founded by Ed Snider in 2002, we introduced hundreds of Cabernet lovers to this wine who fell in love with it and requested us to send them vintage after vintage as a consistently enjoyable Napa Cab, bringing us a deep sense of achievement. It flies under the radar, as so many brands we discover do, always able to satisfy and impress with true Napa Cab stature. Despite Robert Parker claiming it as "one of my favorite wineries," they have successfully kept their hidden gem status. Our early relationship allowed our clients a prized allocation today.

Coming from the Stags Ridge Vineyard, at 1,400 feet above the valley floor near Pritchard Hill and Stagecoach Vineyard, this world-renowned and recognized winery produces exceptional, intense, balanced, rich, and multidimensional wines. With the highly talented Julien Fayard on board as the winemaker, we are confident and jubilant to bring this special offer to you today. Needless to say, our palates are very happy right now :-)

Winemaker notes: "A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature Series Reserve is deep garnet-purple in color. It charges out with pronounced blackcurrant jelly, black cherry preserves, blueberry pie scents, and suggestions of menthol, mocha, and fragrant earth. The full-on, full-bodied palate is bursting with rich, seductive black fruits, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long with mineral notes coming through."
