The 2021 Beau Vigne Juliet is a Cabernet Sauvignon with a flair for the dramatic. Hailing from the North Coast sub-region of the illustrious Napa Valley in California, this wine is a testament to the prowess of its producer, Beau Vigne. The color is a rich, mesmerizing red, a promise of the sensory journey that awaits within each bottle.
A chorus of esteemed reviewers extol the virtues of the 2021 Juliet. According to James Suckling, the bright, fruity, and floral nose is a treat, offering up blackcurrants, plums, cassis blossom, and violets, with gentle suggestions of prunes and jam. The well-rounded tannin harmonizes beautifully with a juicy core of fruit, suggesting that this wine will only improve with a little more time.
Jeb Dunnuck highlights the wild sage, blueberries, black cherries, and spicy oak that emerge in this full-bodied, ripe, and sexy wine. A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, along with equal parts Petite Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah, this wine will benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar and should evolve beautifully through 2036.
The Wine Enthusiast labels the 2021 Beau Vigne Juliet as a sleek yet powerful and concentrated wine, offering enticing and deep black cherry, graphite, and cocoa aromas. The fine-grained tannins promise an exciting future for this wine, with more complexity set to develop and the texture expected to soften over time. Best enjoyed from 2028–2038.
Last but not least, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate notes that the wine, with an alcohol content of 15.6% and a vibrant acidity, offers rich blackberry notes with hints of red fruit and peppery spice on the silky, lingering finish. The 2021 Beau Vigne Juliet is indeed a masterpiece, a wine lover's dream, and a testament to the expressive power of the Napa Valley terroir.
