Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019/2020 750ml

2020

The wine is a dark burgundy, russet-red in color with beautiful depth and richness. The bouquet is soft and alluring with aromas of red currant, raspberry, Bing cherry, and cassis alongside mulled wine holiday spice notes. The palate is plush and inviting with ripe red berries, cherry compote, and raspberry preserves supported by silky, voluminous tannins and a mouthcoating texture that provides a lovely weight, finishing round and sumptuous. Darker tones of blackberry, acai berry, and dark plum, come through on the lengthy finish, while more subtle notes of violet, crushed red rose petal, and black pepper spice (a nod to well-integrated oak) accompany the fresh acidity, finishing dry and pleasing.

Offering perfect balance, complexity, and elegance, this is a wine with universal appeal that’s sure to pair well with a variety of cuisines.

Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Charbono, 4% Petite Sirah, 3% Merlot, 2% Touriga Nacional, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Focused and brilliant flavors of red and black cherries and black currants drive this sleek and powerful wine, as minty, toasty, and tobacco-like accents stay subtly in the background until the finish. A full body, medium to full tannins and good fruit acidity lend tangy freshness. Best from 2026.
