Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) – Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (750ml) Discount

Description
Winemaker Notes
On the palate, juicy, saturated black cherry and macerated red raspberry supported by darker hints of espresso, mocha, and bittersweet chocolate. The structured Rutherford Dust tannins are grippy and plush, with signature cocoa powder texture and expansive mouthfeel. Rich, with depth and balance, leading to a velvety-smooth and persistent finish.
Critical Acclaim

James Suckling
A very attractive red now, with complexity and yummy drinkability. It’s medium-bodied with medium, round tannins that are fresh and more-ish. It’s dusty and lightly earthy with dark currants as well as tobacco. So much going on, in a subtle and refreshing way. 85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% petit verdot, and 5% malbec.

Wine Enthusiast
Deep black-fruit flavors, moderate tannins and a sense of good density make this wine from one of Napa s oldest producers impressive. Cloves, cedar, blackberries and a touch of anise combine for good complexity on the palate. Best After 2026.

Coming mostly from estate fruit, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve is another plush, rounded, undeniably delicious release. Ripe blue fruits, spicy oak, and hints of chocolate define the nose, and it s medium to full-bodied, with a layered, round, incredibly satisfying mouthfeel.Â

Wine Spectator
Juicy and relatively open-knit, with a gush of blackberry, black cherry and plum compote flavors taking the lead, followed by hints of licorice and apple wood. Shows a nice racy edge through the finish. Drink now.
