2022 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
$39.95
The wine shows caramel and ripe red berry fruits on the nose. The palate is generous and juicy with a plethora of red berries. Strawberry, black cherry, and cassis prevail up front, while kola nut, mocha, and toasted oak support with a mouth-pleasing character and approachability. Medium bodied with soft tannins and a lovely mouthfeel, this Cabernet is very drinkable upon release.
