“Wherefore art thou Romeo?”

HERE. Right here. For the moment at least.

Because this heart-poundingly good Venge-Fayard-made Rutherford-vineyard-sourced, 97 POINT Cabernet blockbuster… won’t last the day.

Was $120 and now (while it lasts at least…) it’s way, WAY down to $49. What are we even doing?

Beau Vigne - those in the know recognize them as an original cult winery best known for their 100-point Reserve Cabernet. Robert Parker labeled them “one of my favorite wineries. A true gem of Napa Valley.”

Julien Fayard came out swinging for the fences with his debut wine for Beau Vigne, taking over the reins from his equally venerable predecessor Kirk Venge. With a resume that includes Lafite Rothschild, Smith Haut Lafitte, Melka, Quintessa, Realm, and Covert Estate it doesn’t get much better. And the fruit comes from top vineyards across Rutherford, Oakville and St. Helena AVAs.

The Tasting Panel signaled what’s to come: “To be sure, Fayard brings technical expertise as well as experience in crafting luxury wines, but it’s his relationships with many of Napa Valley’s most prestigious vineyards that will continue to elevate Beau Vigne into the future. This includes renewed contracts with both longtime sources like Beckstoffer Vineyards’ Georges III Vineyard and up-and-coming estates…”

Enjoy with an In-N-Out burger or an A5 Wagyu steak. You’ll be happy either way.

But please do make this yours before it’s too late - “parting is such sweet sorrow” as the saying goes, and this wine will depart from our site forever in a few hours, we’re guessing…

97 Points – The Tasting Panel

“Intense dark chocolate-covered cherry and roasted coffee glide in on a sleek mouthfeel with seductive notes of blackberry and licorice. In its youth, this broad-shouldered yet already balanced red is cloaked in dark violets that bloom as it opens up.”
