Beaulieu Vineyard Rarity Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (1.5L)

97 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Rarity, Beaulieu Vineyard new high-end wine sourced from their historic BV #1 and BV #2 ranches, is shaping up to be a real beauty. It possesses notable freshness and energy, both of which work well to play off the wine's natural richness. The 2016 was made by Jeffrey Stambor as he retired and incoming winemaker Trevor Durling. As such, it reflects a fascinating transition as BV moves to wines that emphasize more vibrancy than in the past. It's a style that works so well here. There is plenty of promise, for readers who can wait. This dense, potent Cabernet has a bright future. Bottled only in magnums." 10/21
