2022 Beau Vigne ‘Romeo’ Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

DEC95 The ‘Romeo’ bottling for Beau Vigne is the counterpoint to ‘Juliet,’ offering more muscularity and broad-shouldered tannins. Alluring blackberry and plum fruits mingle with toasty oak, dried herbs, and violet florals. Medium to full-bodied, it has a core of creamy fruit, making it a stylish and easy-drinking Cabernet with enough heft to satisfy those who love powerful Napa Cabernets. The fruit is sourced from exceptional sites in Rutherford, Yountville, and Oakville, and the wine is aged for approximately 20 months in 50-60% new French oak.
