2018 Beau Vigne Cabernet Sauvignon Legacy

Napa Valley more

6/26/2021 - Xer90 wrote: 92 points

One could easily do a doubletake on this wine & think it came directly from Chuck Wagner at Caymus. Not SS quality, but certainly at entry level Caymus Cab Sauv. A lush and delectable sweetness sweeps through this wine. Ripe red cherry and skin, blackberry preserve, cassis, cola nut and a cool mineral presence throughout, all perfectly balanced. Round soft tannins. Amazing how the new French oak has integrated so nicely in such a short period of time. Beau Vigne is surely a standout in the $30 Napa Cab price category. Very nice indeed.

    11/29/2021 4:48:00 PM - In response to LiteItOnFire: You are probably correct, and I may have under rated this wine. It probably was a result of having a stellar cab prior to opening this half bottle. The difference in style and not giving this wine a chance to breathe may have resulted in an unfair review. I wish I had more to give it a second chance. Be interested to see your interpretation.

Mild for a Merlot. Quite fragrant and easy on the palate. Lighter finish than the average Merlot. Pairs well with food. Drank with a stir fry meal.

2012 Iron Door Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection

Alexander Valley more

WTSO wine. I have a theory and maybe I am not the only to have this theory. I enjoy sites like WTSO and Last Bottle. But I have noticed that wines offered by WTSO that don’t have a winery website are hit and miss. This is one of those wines. For $20 this wine checks all the boxes. Decent fruits, minimal tannins, easy drinking. This wine is a wine that you take to your friends that don’t know any better and your tell them, “This is a cab from California and its $20.” It does have some classic Alexander Valley flavors, but at every sip you just want more. Decent stuff, but better wine out there for the price. I don’t see it getting any better so I will put the other three bottles ahead in the rotation...

2009 Liquid Sky Cabernet Sauvignon

Sonoma Valley more

8/5/2016 - stags22 Likes this wine: NR

Liquid sky??? More like liquid gold. Excellent find by wine spies. In an informal blind tasting of 4, this was a favorite. Extraordinary nose and a long delicious finish. Creamy dark chocolate. Loved
BUT fast forward 3 months and this one might have just gone past its prime. Like 2 completely different wines so removing my rating.

2013 Maroon Cabernet Sauvignon Signature Reserve Yountville

9/14/2015 - xxquadxx Does not like this wine: 69 points

I'm a huge fan of Maroon wines. Their top of the line stuff is excellent. This was a huge disappointing mistake. It was decanted 6+ hours. I just don't understand how you can take grapes from the perfect '13 vintage and make this junk which is reminiscent of rubbing alcohol and a spoon of sugar added to it. Zero structure, no balance whatsoever and no finish at all - simply abysmal! I paid $20 for it - what I waste! Now I have 3 more bottles to give as "presents" to people who know nothing about wine.

2010 Amusee Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Alexander Valley

Nose: Bright red fruits and vanilla. Palate: Soft styled with surprisingly bright red fruits for a Cab. Decent acid levels but not much complexity and a light finish. OK food wine but even at $20/btl this is not worth the price. Another WTSO wine that is not worth it. Just OK.
