2018 was a dream growing season and harvest for Napa Valley. An abundance of rain in February was followed by continuous days of sunshine and mild temperatures that made for uniform vines and even cluster growth. With no major heat spikes to contend with, there was no need to rush through harvest. Cooler temperatures allowed us to pick when we wanted, without stress and under optimal conditions. The gift from Mother Nature translated to wines that not only have great concentration but also an amazing freshness.

Classic Beau Vigne single vineyard 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot. The 2018 is an intense ruby red color and the concentration is almost impenetrable. Bouquet of berry spice dominated by blackberry. The palate is decided, with stylish, velvety tannins, accompanied by a long finish with toasty cedar tones.
