Beau Vigne Hero is a premium California proprietary red blend crafted by acclaimed Napa Valley winemaker Julien Fayard, whose distinguished experience includes work at Château Lafite Rothschild and Quintessa. The 2022 vintage features a composition of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 3% Syrah, sourced from multi-vineyard, multi-AVA sites with a singular focus on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in chalky soils, which imparts memorable concentration and minerality to the wine.

The grapes are sourced from vineyard sites in Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, ranging from 150 to 2,000 feet above sea level, selected for their cool mornings, warm sunny afternoons, and optimal sun orientations. The wine is aged for 17 months in 100% French oak. Technical specifications include 14.0% alcohol, 0.57 TA, and 3.60 pH.

Tasting notes reveal a mélange of blackberry, dark cherry, blueberry pie, mocha, slate, graphite, and toasted vanilla. The Tasting Panel Magazine awarded this wine 94 points, noting white pepper, plum skin tannins, graphite, and above all energy and tension.
