About the Wine
“One of my favorite wineries, Beau Vigne’s Vineyard, sits at a high elevation in the southern Napa Valley, back Soda Canyon Road, overlooking the Pritchard Hill Gap as well as the Stagecoach Vineyard. The AVA for these wines is Atlas Peak and the soils are all of volcanic origin. This winery is currently on a qualitative roll.” ~Robert Parker
Renowned winemaker Julien Fayard uses his expertise to produce wines that express pure, terroir-driven specificities and characteristics. Julien gained his knowledge and defined his core winemaking style from working at grand Chateaux in France, such as Lafite Rothschild and Smith Haut Lafitte.
Beau Vigne flies under the radar as a “hidden gem” and small boutique winery producing only a few thousand cases a year. Fans and critics alike flock to the winery for its outstanding wines and genuine hospitality, including famed critic Robert Parker, who refers to Beau Vigne as “one of my favorite wineries.”
Beau Vigne’s wines are highly esteemed and cherished among some of the world’s most important winemakers, and they have achieved numerous high accolades. Today, they are considered among Napa Valley’s most acclaimed wines.
Tasting Notes
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
The Heritage North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon is noted for its deep, dark fruit flavors like blackberry and cassis, complemented by a touch of oak. The wine has a structured body with firm tannins and leaves a lasting impression, symbolizing the iconic California Cabernet style.
Critic Reviews
The Beau Vigne "Heritage" bottling is sourced from several sites in Napa and Sonoma, including one near Vérité. Incredibly savoury, it leads with notes of black olive, liquorice, and bursts of blue fruit and violets. Full-bodied, it features wonderfully plump and sweet tannins and lots of juicy, crushed black fruits complemented by nuances of dried fennel and tobacco. ~93 Decanter
Dry, dusty tannins engage with plum skin and ripe black cherry. Undertones of mocha and dried herbs offer a slightly metallic finish. ~ 92 The Tasting Panel
