This is Crazy 8 vineyard. A 3 acre vineyard in Yountville near the Silverado trail. This may be one of the best current vintage Napa cabs I’ve ever had. It’s a monster reminiscent of stags leap fruit- dark motor oil. Blackberries. Plush yet resolved. Rich, smooth, distinctive. In a line up of highly regarded Beckstoffer vineyard cabs, this blew them away. At $260, this is a steal. Incrediblely impressive — 20 hours ago

McGah, not Green. Always get banana peel on this with an oily finish. Very good but pricey - likely won’t be picking this up again. — 4 years ago

Been a year since I had this, and boy was it singing. Ample peaches and assorted tropical fruits with a saline/glycerine note on the end. Beautiful SB that I highly recommend. — 5 years ago

Notes from retail,,

Recoltant is the younger brother to Le Pich and Purlieu, and the wine is produced by Julien Fayard, who is absolutely at the top of his game.

Recoltant is a collaboration of declassified barrels of premium Cabernet that didn’t quite fit into Le Pich or Purlieu. The final blend was stitched together from several celebrated regions throughout Napa Valley, and Julian made the wine with the same standards of excellence that he practices in all of his projects. — 5 years ago

Firetree has one vineyard, Chardonnay. -which is behind Hyde in carneos. From that, they make two Chardonnays. Bunny hills and this, Fidem- which is faith in Latin and in reference to those two favorite vineyard blocks, F and E. Julien Fayard makes the Chardonnays. This is an incredible Chardonnay. Multi mineral. — 20 hours ago

Bought for $40.00, normally $125.00 and still $125.00 winery direct. They’ve gone the way of a paper label & shorter cork. But for 1/3 the price I’ll take the miner changes. Medium body compared to older vintages. If I paid release I would be disappointed but for $40.00 its definitely worthwhile K&L notes, Beau Vigne's heralded, rising star winemaker Julien Fayard, originally from France, has worked in esteemed cellars such as Lafite-Rothschild and Smith-Haut-Lafitte on his way to becoming Philippe Melka's Director of Winemaking for many iconic wineries across Napa Valley. The 2018 "Cult" Cab is Beau Vigne's estate fruit from a high elevation vineyard 1,400 feet up on Atlas Peak and another closer to the Silverado Trail.

Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Cult is a blend of both of the estate vineyards: Stags Ridge and Soda Canyon, with 15% blended from Rutherford and Oakville. It was aged in 100% new oak. — 4 years ago
