Taste
Beau Vigne Amendment XXI 2022 is a bold yet elegant Napa Valley proprietary red blend that exemplifies the estate’s commitment to quality and complexity. Comprising Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, this wine offers layers of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, cassis, and plums, interwoven with baking spices, vanilla, espresso, and a touch of mocha from well-integrated oak. A full-bodied, velvety mouthfeel and balanced tannins provide structure and richness, while the addition of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc contributes floral, herbal, and spicy undertones. The finish is long, smooth, and satisfying, making the wine both approachable now and age-worthy for a decade or more.
Blend: 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petite Verdot
