Beaulieu Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 75cl

From Beaulieu Vineyard, this 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon brings together estate-grown fruit from Rutherford and Calistoga with a small proportion sourced from selected growers in the valley. It is a California red with a composed, layered style, shaped by 18 months of ageing in French, American and European oak barrels, including 30% first-fill oak.

Juicy blueberry and purple grape notes lead the profile, followed by savoury touches of crushed graphite, mulberry leaf and Bovril. On the palate, the flavours are intense yet the texture remains mellow, with velvety tannins, balanced acidity and an appealing buttery richness. The fruit carries through with persistence on the finish, and the aromas deepen further with air.
