93-Point, $14.79 Cabernet Sauvignon from Beau Vigne!

One of our longtime favorite Napa Valley wineries has decided to go rogue! Rather than following the region's tradition of moving ever more upscale, Napa's Beau Vigne has added a Cabernet Sauvignon that goes for a fraction of the $100 to $200 of their flagship Napa Valley bottlings.

Made in a juicy, accessible style, this new bottling has earned a 93-Point rating from Decanter Magazine and today, thanks to our connections in California, we're able to bring it to you for the beats-all price of just $14.79.

Using fruit from around the North Coast, including Napa and Sonoma, this "wonderfully plump" Cabernet is a gobsmacking value. Read on for the details, and for a crack at two of Beau Vigne's premium Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings, then hit the Big Green Button to stock up!

==========

2022 Beau Vigne “Heritage” Cabernet Sauvignon
North Coast, California
~~~~~~~~~~~
While its premium stablemates scream out with the full-throated kaboom of Napa Valley cult wine, this friendly daily-drinker fills its role perfectly. Smooth in texture with gentle acidity, it delivers many of the features that have made Cabernets such as Justin and Daou so popular.

Offering gobs of fresh Bing cherry along with notes of cedar, blueberry, fresh tobacco, and vanilla, this harmonious and easy-drinking 14% ABV Cab has nary a hard edge in sight. Delightful and quite people-pleasing, it's earned this whopping 93-Point review from Decanter:

"The Beau Vigne 'Heritage' bottling is sourced from several sites in Napa and Sonoma, including one near Vérité. Incredibly savoury, it leads with notes of black olive, liquorice, and bursts of blue fruit and violets. Full-bodied, it features wonderfully plump and sweet tannins and lots of juicy, crushed black fruits complemented by nuances of dried fennel and tobacco. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2030."
         - 93 Points, Decanter (7/14/2024)

While the winery website offers it for sale at $65, the $23 median online retail is much more appropriate for what is in the bottle. We bring this tasty Cabernet bargain to you today for a 35% lower price that beats every single listing!

Plus Limited Quantities of Beau Vigne's 96-Point and 97-Point Signature Series Napa Cabs!

While this is the first time that we've offered Beau Vigne's "Heritage" Cabernet, we have been selling their Napa Valley wines for years. We have just a very limited quantity today of these full-throttle bottlings of "Romeo" and "Juliet" from their Signature Series of wines!

2021 Beau Vigne "Romeo" Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California
~~~~~~~~~~~
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 "Romeo" is a successful throwback to the envelope-pushing style of top Napa Valley wines from 10 to 15 years ago. Reminding us of Hundred Acre and Vineyard 29, it throws a sucker punch of blue and black fruits, coffee, vanilla, and charred sweetness.

There's a lingering lushness here that tickles us. We suggest enjoying now and over the coming half-decade, while its bold, primary fruit flavors are leading the charge!

"An inviting floral note in the aroma leads to beautiful cherry and berry flavors and an agreeable, moderately tannic texture in this full-bodied but approachable wine. It shows more complexity with each sip, and ends with a lingering finish. Best from 2026–2036."
          - 96 Points, Wine Enthusiast (4/1/2024)

Wine Enthusiast quotes $125. Median online retail is $100. This massively broad and dark wine is a hedonist’s dream!

2021 Beau Vigne "Juliet" Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California
~~~~~~~~~~~
A counterpart to Romeo, the densely-structured 2021 Juliet comes in at 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Syrah. Awarding 97 Points, Wine Enthusiast writes:

"This sleek but powerful and concentrated wine offers enticing and deep black cherry, graphite and cocoa aromas followed by fine-grained tannins that tighten up as you sip. The wine is built for the long haul, needing time for more complexity to develop and the texture to soften. Best from 2028–2038. Cellar Selection."
         - 97 Points, Wine Enthusiast (4/1/2024)

Boasting subtle tannins and classic oak integration along with flavors of cassis, blackberry, blue plum, cocoa, fresh-turned earth and toasty oak, it drinks in the company of plenty of Napa bottlings that cost twice the price.

Wine Enthusiast quotes a $150 release price. Our price on this beautifully structured powerhouse is $70 less. Drink now with decanting or cellar for another decade!
