Beau Vigne
Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Another 4th Friday for the books, and one of the best of the year!
I can’t remember if I got this at my winery visit last year or if this was another gift from the man himself, @Martin G Rivard , but I do know that I only know about Beau Vigne because of Martin! Either way, thank you!
If I had smelled and tasted this blind, I would have called this a Bevan Cabernet. It is an iron fist in a velvet glove. It’s explosive out of the glass with baked blackberry pie, blueberry, sandalwood and chocolate shavings. Expansive on the palate and you think it’s going to overpower you, but it tones everything down for a silky and velvet textured finish. The palate goes more dark red fruit and black fruit with toasted oak. This is a BIG wine, but it’s no doubt very delicious.

Every time I open of of these beauties I’m reminded of how badass a wine maker is Ed Snider.

Wow. As usual, magnificent. Big boy wine. Full of elegance and power. Boysenberry, melted chocolate, licorice and just lovely fruit. integrated oak, velvet mouthfeel, and balanced with fresh acidity. Warms me up and to quote a Delectable friend, makes me smile big time.

Still too young but it is delicious. Wonderful choice for the first game of the season.

Sep 6th, 2015This is delicious. Very young and built for the long haul. Needs plenty of air right now. Firm tannins, great acidity, sour cherry, black fruit, graphite, melted chocolate, and herbaceous but no greenness. Superb and can't wait to revisit in a couple of years....if I can wait.
