Beaulieu Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Napa Valley, California, United StatesIf you think that Napa Valey is a sleepy place taste this 2015 BV cabernet. Let me know if you can tell that it contains five percent touriga nacional, four percent petite sirah and one percent of mixed other grapes. Surprised, yeah? So was I. The effect is quite compelling, clipping off the fat Napa swell of fruit and flesh, lending this wine more complexity and style than you might imagine for the price. This is Rutheford from its fine, dusty tannins to its black cherry, and black raspberry, and I like the overall structure and acidity. Floral, mineral notes help lift the back end. You could cellar this through 2023 and beyond, or serve now with grilled meat. Well made from a fine vintage.Tasted: 02 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
