Beau Vigne
Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Fruit-forward nose supported with light oak and spices. The palate displays the typical depth and texture I’ve come to expect from this producer. Decadently sweet mid-palate, finishing lithe, with tobacco and detectable musky notes. We caught this just in time.
A super gift from my bud @Martin G Rivard. Thanks so much, Martin!!!

3rd wine if the night last night: last but not least by any means. Ed Snyder is a freaking Rock Star in Napa. Shelling out Hit after Hit after Hit. This isn't Frederic Chopin....., it's AC/DC's Back in Black!!
Big., bold., unafraid and unapologetic! I love the Dark chocolate notes, dark fruit, spice & a touch of grafite. It's always a hit for me & Ed Snyder is an awesome guy to boot!

Happy Fourth of July!!! 🇺🇸
@Sean Ballington decided to open up a 2009 South African Cabernet, so we decided to open up this beautiful 2009 from @TheSkip. Stunning wine and thank you for sharing!! Cheers 🍷🍷🍷
Deep ruby core with garnet edges. Dark layered nose with lots of black cherries, blueberries, cassis, graphite, dark cocoa and more sweet spices. Heavy tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Layered palate with notes of dark gravel, blackberries, a touch blue, and solid spices. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2024.

Soaring aromatics. It possesses a young, fresh nose of overripe cherries, tobacco and Linze torte.
On the palette, this presents as a full-throttle Napa cab. An explosion of flavors almost overwhelm the taste buds. Consistent notes on the palette, which are amplified by lifted sweetness. Tannins present perfectly, with a glossy mouthfeel. This wine has plenty of runway ahead of it. The best BV we have tasted.
Another brilliant example from @Martin G Rivard!!!

Very nice. Dark red in color with a faint brick hue to the rim. Aromas of coffee and brown sugar on the nose, and red fruits dominate the palate. This is a very nice wine and is drinking beautifully. Thank you @Martin G Rivard

Intense and full bore. This isn't for the faint of heart. Wonderful nose with mixed aromatics. There is cassis, blackberry, cedar, aged leather on the palate. Nice finish. Thanks to @Martin G Rivard for the recommendation!!
