Description
Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, 2018
Grapes: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec aged 15 months in French, American, and European oak (60% new) barrels.
This Cabernet Sauvignon has a tremendous saturation of colour, aromas and flavors. The nose is ripe with fresh dark blackberry, black cherry and cassis notes alongside nuances of floral violet and sweet oak spices. On the palate, there are darker fruit notes supported by hints of dark chocolate and anise seed. The structured “Rutherford dust” tannins are fine grained and more rustic in style for this vintage, showcasing the signature fine cocoa powder texture and expansive mouthfeel. Incredibly elegant and balanced, with vibrant acidity from the perfect growing season provides concentration, depth and freshness on the finish.
"Tasting of blackberry and toasted oak, this richly layered wine is sumptuously built, with soft, well-integrated tannins. Elements of tobacco, cedar and sage figure into the fruity foundation, powerful in style with lasting grace."
94/100 points, Virginie Boone, WINE ENTHUSIAST, November 2021
