HAPPY FRIDAY: Especially happy, as it’s the latest “milestone” release of a ‘CULT’ classic!

One of our TOP SELLERS is back. The price, as always, remains anchored to the floor at $35, but the points keep soaring higher as this soars to 95 from Decanter and a sun-scorching 98 from Tasting Panel.

As Julian Fayard says, “what makes a great wine is the emotion it conveys.”

Picture this: The weather has finally warmed up enough to fire up the grill, your ribeye is cooked to perfection, you pop open this bad boy while they’re resting and pour yourself an inky glass of 98-point near perfection. Your taste buds are partying down in a sea of black fruit, mocha, and sweet spice, swaddled in satiny textures… life is GOOD!

You’re probably thinking, *“that sounds good and all, but I’m not a $150-per-bottle type and those 98 pointers from the big shots are out of my reach. That’s where your trusty Agents of Wine come in.

You can see where this is headed. A wig-lifting $100+ OFF drops it right into your lap… for less than $40?!

By now you might know Beau Vigne - whether through some of our past offers or from when they splashed onto the scene in the early 2000s with huge scores. Robert Parker labeled them “one of my favorite wineries” and they’ve amassed close to TWO DOZEN 95-100-point wines. Taking over from Kirk Venge after the 2018 harvest, today they have 100-point winemaking phenom Julien Fayard (of Lafite Rothschild, Smith Haut Lafitte, Melka, Quintessa, Realm, Covert Estate…) running the show. And man, he’s just crushing it.

If you name a wine “Cult” it better deliver. And as the name implies, it comes with all the qualities you’d hope for in a triple-digit Napa Cab. Ripe, round, and silky. Powerful and extracted but not totally blown out. The fruit leans to the black spectrum and comes loaded with blueberry pie, plum, and blackberry jam, but a little dabble of strawberry here and a touch of cassis there share the stage too. Then there’s graphite minerality, the exotic toasty woods, candied violets, and fantastic savory elements like cardamom, leather, and mushrooms. Incredibly polished for a ‘21, and the crowd-pleasing potential is off the meter here! Did we mention 98 POINTS?!

And if you need any more convincing, this special 15th Anniversary bottling is from the LEGEND – wait for it – ARY 2023 vintage. A year that “as perfect as any Napa vintage in living memory” according to Decanter!

They call it ‘CULT’ for good reason, don’t get left behind. This is the best one yet, without a doubt.

98 Points – The Tasting Panel “Winemaker Julien Fayard created this milestone bottling from the Beau Vigne collection, a distinctively luxurious Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of vanilla cedar, dark chocolate blueberries, and a hint of clove engage with firm tannins. Dried lavender wraps around the palate, soaked in Worcestershire and black tea, which anchors to the lengthy finish.”

95 Points – Decanter “Cult is the flagship wine in Beau Vigne’s elevated series, distinguished by its silkscreened gold ink. The 2023 vintage is expressive and full-bodied, with a bold, rich mouthfeel that blends satin and silk textures within a spectrum of black and blue fruit. Fragrant violets are laced throughout, supported by supple tannins and accents of milk chocolate, dried sage, and sweet oak spice. Crafted by Julien Fayard. Drink 2025-2035.”
