2021 Beaulieu Vineyards Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
Uno March - 2026
My love affair with California Cabs began at an early age, when I joined my first wine club (Les Amis du Vin), at the age of twenty. One of the first wines I purchased through the wine club, was one of the best Cabernets ever; the 1965 Beaulieu Vineyards George d Latour Cabernet Sauvignon. I still love BV Cabs, so I jumped at the opportunity to sample a 2021 BV Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The Love Affair Rages on!
This is a Big. Bold, Beautiful Napa Cab! It has big fruit, and big taste in a complex and extremely satisfying example of what Cabs are supposed to be. The flavors are Black Cherry, Black Currant, and Ripe Plum. The finish is smooth and lingering, with sophisticated tannins requesting another sip! The alcohol content is 14.5%. and Norm's score is 95.
We feasted on steak kabobs with peppers and onions and, a fresh avocado and tomato salad, but the Star of the show was the BV Napa Cab!
