Tasting Notes For Beau Vigne CULT Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
The 2023 CULT Cabernet Sauvignon from Beau Vigne is a bold and refined expression of Napa Valley Cabernet, marking the 15th anniversary of this flagship bottling with depth and precision. Crafted from prime Napa fruit and aged carefully to highlight varietal purity, this wine opens with a seductive bouquet of fresh black and blue fruits, violets, and dark cherry framed by elegant cedar and spice. It shows medium–full body with a deep garnet-purple hue that invites you into its richly layered profile.
Critic Ratings
Winemaker Julien Fayard created this milestone bottling from the Beau Vigne collection, a distinctively luxurious Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of vanilla cedar, dark chocolate blueberries, and a hint of clove engage with firm tannins. Dried lavender wraps around the palate, soaked in Worcestershire and black tea, which anchors to the lengthy finish.
- 98 Points, The Tasting Panel
Cult is the flagship wine in Beau Vigne’s elevated series, distinguished by its striking bottle with gold lettering. The 2023 vintage is expressive and full-bodied, with a bold, rich mouthfeel that blends satin and silk textures within a spectrum of black and blue fruit. Fragrant violets are laced throughout, supported by supple tannins and accents of milk chocolate, dried sage, and sweet oak spice.

Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of dark berry-peach pie crust, honeycomb candle, and roasted nuts with a satiny, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a warming, interesting, long finish manifesting notes of cocoa-dusted craisins and figs, sweet and peppery spices, blackberry jam, and brown sugar with well-integrated, chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A plush, dense-packed Napa Cabernet with lots to offer now and will be even better with a little cellaring..
