Focused and brilliant flavors of red and black cherries and black currants drive this sleek and powerful wine, as minty, toasty, and tobacco-like accents stay subtly in the background until the finish. A full body, medium to full tannins and good fruit acidity lend tangy freshness. Best from 2026.

Shows a light mesquite edge that mingles with gently mulled plum and blackberry fruit flavors, while lightly singed vanilla and tobacco fill in through the finish. Reveals a solid graphite spine, too. Drink now through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 28,595 cases made.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a fruity, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next handful of years, with pleasant sweet red berry fruit, spice, flowers and pipe tobacco. This is a lighter style than most years, but intense heat dictated picking on the early side. All things considered, this is very nicely balanced.

BV's 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley features modest cherry fruit and some herbal notes. While it's medium to full-bodied, it's lacking concentration, coming across as silky enough but lacking mid-palate richness and depth. Not bad for the price, I guess.
