Beau Vigne Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
96 Points - The Tasting Panel. Beau Vigne Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 synthesises Napa Valley richness with the precision of French-influenced winemaking, yielding a wine that is both powerful and nuanced. Its concentrated black fruit, elegance, and critical acclaim make it a flagship example of what boutique mountain-grown Napa Cabernet can achieve.
Taste
The 2022 Juliet offers enticing aromas of deep black cherry, blackcurrants, mulberries, and cocoa, underpinned by notes of graphite, vanilla cedar, and candied violets. On the palate, it’s concentrated but refined, with succulent black cherry, plum, and a lift of acidity thanks to Syrah’s inclusion. The tannins are smooth and remarkably fine, giving way to a lasting finish layered with baking spices, plum, and coffee notes. The wine’s plush, integrated mouthfeel, coupled with building fruit intensity, signals great aging potential.Â
Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Syrah
