For over 100 years, Beaulieu Vineyard has been one of the benchmark premium Napa Cabernet producers. They’re meticulous in their process, have an absolutely insane state-of-the art production facility and traditional minimalist vineyard practices that have been perfected over the decades into an exact science. In Calistoga, Carnernos and beyond, Beaulieu vineyards are world-renowned for their beauty, their remarkable terroir and the phenomenal wines that consistently come out of these extraordinary places.
They built this reputation slowly and carefully- earning every accolade you can think of along the way. Rarely has any wine been added or subtracted from the BV portfolio – what you see is what you get, and it’s usually fantastic.
But every once in a while, an old dog learns a new trick- or in this case, an unexpectedly generous and outstanding vintage comes along, and you decide the fruit you have in tank needs its own bottling. That’s pretty special.
In 2018, Beaulieu Vineyard made their first ever BV Rutherford Reserve Cabernet. Feeling like they had no choice but to put into its own package their finest expression of Rutherford fruit to date, this is a spectacular bottling that has made the rash decision to make a Reserve seem like the absolute correct call.

This is so aromatic with redcurrants, flowers and crushed stones. Some bark and rose stem, too. Full-bodied, yet so refined and textured with a lovely finish of fruit and hints of berry and light chocolate. So delicious now, but will develop nicely in the bottle. Drink or hold.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve is a deeper, richer wine with impressive chocolatey blackcurrant fruits as well as lots of tobacco, damp earth, camphor, and new leather-like aromas and flavors. It’s beautifully textured and medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a great finish. I’d be thrilled to drink bottles any time over the coming 10-15 years or more.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
