A new project from Ed Snider at Beau Vigne, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon 1913 checks in as 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot. A smoking value, it gives up lots of chocolaty dark fruits, cassis, tobacco, and cedary spice notes to go with full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It will compete with wines three times the cost.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon 1913 is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose bursts with bold notes of warm cassis, blackberry pie, chocolate mint and tobacco with wafts of cedar chest and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it has a solid frame of lovely, ripe, grainy tannins to support the bags of black fruit, finishing with impressive purity. (LPB)

Folks familiar with Ed Snider's wines at Beau Vigne will know just what to expect here from his latest project, Cardano. However, they'll likely be surprised by the low price! This is bold, fruit forward Napa Cabernet that is lush, rich and polished. Coming from a vineyard called Pritchard Ridge in the Atlas Peak AVA, that looks down on prestigious properties such as: Chappellet, Continuum, Ovid, Bryant and Colgin. Lots of rich, dark cherry, blackcurrant, boysenberry, exotic vanilla oak tones a touch of crushed rock. Full-bodied, smooth and supple, drinking well from the get go. This is an out and out crowd-pleaser that delivers a big, plush style with out the typically inflated price tag!
