The beginning of the 2019 growing season was defined by copious rainfall and late soil moisture. The long, warm summer saw very few extreme heat events, with foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant and expressive wines. The long, relatively mild finish to the season, not without its moments of unpredictability, helped to preserve freshness and finesse in the fruit with abundant hang time teasing out great color, structure and soft tannins. Volume is looking to be about average to a little less than average. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and ample texture promises an amazing vintage.
The vines struggle to penetrate the dense rocky soil. The resulting berry is smaller and highly concentrated in color and flavor. Juliet is the offspring of Beau Vigne’s Cabernet Sauvignon. A romantic blend inspired by our winemaker’s chosen lots.
Gorgeous rich and ripe floral aromas mixed with cherry fruit. In the mouth, the wine is expansive – juicy, bright, and balanced with a cool cherry cola aspect that ramps up with fantastically balanced acidity and lingering length. Boysenberries, kirsch, dark chocolates, blueberries, granular rock on the nose, savory blackberry fruit, maraschino cherry, fennel, graphite on the palate.
