| Tasting Notes: | Maestro Collection showcases unique limited production wines from distincitive vineyards and intriguing varietals. The grapes for this wine come primarily from the original Beaulieu Vineyard Ranch No.1 on the Rutherford Bench. Selective blending of superior blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Verdot produces a supple and approachable wine that boasts aromas and flavors of ripe berries. A generous dose of French oak provides a roundness, integrating the rich fruit flavors with opulent, mouthfilling texture. |
| Ratings: | 90 Points, Wine Spectator Insider A rich, flashy style, with gobs of dark fruit and a cloak of smoky oak. Full-bodied, dense, concentrated and extracted, giving this chewy grape and oak tannins that beg for aeration or cellar time. Best from 2010 through 2017.—James Laube |
