Beau Vigne 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa Valley

Beau Vigne Winery

This Reserve has a smooth pointed entry of black currant and black cherry and creme de cassis, backed by tobacco leaf and cocoa notes. Offering a complex harmony of flavors and aromas. Nicely structures tannins lead to a full 60 second finish. Drink now to 2018.
Wine Advocate
More backward and structured, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve possesses copious black fruit, licorice, and forest floor notes as well as a boatload of tannin. While neither as charming nor accessible as the Juliet, it needs 3-4 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades. Score: 94+ - Robert Parker, December 2009.
