2018 Beaulieu Vineyards Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
#46-2022
We had dinner with old friends recently, who not only prepared a great steak dinner, but also opened a really good Napa Cab to go with the fillets. My love for BV wines goes back a long ways, and this 2018 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon certainly reminded me of the "Good Old Days"! If memory serves me correctly, BV Cabs were also the favorite American wines of Queen Elizabeth. I know that the Chardonnay Queen and I enjoyed this one!
I like the taste of cherry in a Cabernet, and this one has plenty, along with a little cassis, and a smattering of plum. There is a nuance of mocha, along with a thin veil of sweet tannin, which sail off into the night on a ship of dreams finish. The alcohol content is 14.7%, and Norm's score is 93.
We always enjoy dinner with friends, but when you add in a "Slab and a Cab", its hard to have a more enjoyable evening!
score: 93
price: $27 - $33
