Beaulieu Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

A luscious, broad, velvety wine with oodles of dark plums, savory, spices and great depth. It has the typical Oakville breadth, abundant but supple tannins and extra notes of bay leaves, tobacco leaves and chocolate to complement gorgeous fruit notes. Drink now or hold.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is fabulous. Rich, inky and wonderfully deep, the 2018 packs a serious punch. A blast of inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, licorice and menthol give the 2018 so much immediacy. Dollops of Charbono, Petite Sirah and Merlot add juiciness. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

A polished and inviting style, with warm cassis and gently mulled plum fruit flavors gliding through atop pretty mocha, singed vanilla and loam accents, while a gentle savory echo adds range through the finish. Approachable now, but there's no rush. Drink now through 2032.
