Beaulieu Vineyard Description

A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot, and 2% Petite Sirah.

Rutherford is the heart of Napa Valley and home to Beaulieu Vineyard. For more than 20 years, our winemakers have crafted our Cabernet Sauvignon, which defines the unique expression of our Rutherford vineyards with rich dark berry and cocoa, accented by well-integrated oak spices for a long finish.

Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points

Muted, thick and dense in berry, this is a rewarding wine made well and in a full-bodied style. High-toned flavors of currant, citrus and cassis are complemented in cedar, pencil shavings and a whiff of old-school pipe tobacco with a lasting taste of toasted oak. Virginie Boone, 3/1/2020.

Jeb Dunnuck: 90 Points

More spice, tobacco, and cedar notes emerge from the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, another medium-bodied, nicely textured, balanced wine in the lineup that has loads of Cabernet character. It’s drinking beautifully today, and I suspect will be best enjoyed in its first decade of life. As Napa Cabernet goes, it’s a smoking value. 2/2020

Wine Advocate: 90 Points

The deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot and 2% Petite Sirah, aged for 16 months in French and American oak, 50% new. The nose comes bounding out of the glass with upfront scents of baked plums, chocolate-covered cherries and crème de cassis with hints of bay leaves, tobacco leaf, vanilla pod and Chinese five spice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is well-crafted, featuring plush tannins and tons of freshness to support the ripe, spicy black fruit flavors, finishing with an herbal lift. Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, 10/30/2020.
