Crafted in a tiny quantity, the 2018 Beau Vigne Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Signature Series Napa Valley is everything a $200 Napa Cabernet should be. Indeed, that’s the exact dollar signage you’ll see charged for this monumental release on Beau Vigne’s own website. But it’s not what Wine Access members will pay, thanks to a PHENOMENAL break on pricing that brings this massively proportioned, opulent beauty down a ton!

Thanks to our close relationship to Julien and the smashing success of our last Beau Vigne offer, we’re able to offer you this grand 2018. Born from an outstanding vintage that “belongs in an echelon with the finest of the past two decades,” per Decanter, it’s a remarkable acquisition and a lush, garnet-purple gift that will keep on giving.

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is primarily composed of fruit off rich volcanic soils high on Atlas Peak, planted to clone 337 sourced from Pauillac in Bordeaux. The wine hints at the fine-grained texture and elegance of the Left Bank while channeling the heady freshness and polished power of California’s high-altitude mountains.

Julien’s touch with Cabernet—brilliantly straddling the line between New World concentration and Old World reserve—always shines in his work with boutique properties like this one.
