B.V. GEORGE DE LATOUR PRIVATE RESERVE 750ML

Wine Spectator’s #2 Wine of the Year Wine Spectator reviewed nearly 10,500 wines this year and our 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon earned the #2 spot! The Top 100 wines were chosen on the basis of outstanding quality, as judged in Wine Spectator's official blind tastings, as well as on its excellent value, and because of our winery's leading role in our region. Tasting Notes This is a truly remarkable vintage of our iconic flagship wine. The bouquet is intense with fragrant notes of wild sage, blackcurrant, cedar, and fresh mint. The palate is expansive and full-bodied with a sumptuous mouthfeel, showcasing layers of ripe blackberry, redcurrant, and red rose petal alongside earthier tones of graphite, licorice root, gravely stone, and dark chocolate. Subtle baking spices from the French oak barrel aging provide sandalwood, clove, and Ceylon cinnamon notes, while the signature “Rutherford Dust” tannins are silky, polished, and fine-grained, finishing long with a cocoa powder texture. Slightly reserved upon release but incredibly drinkable, elegant, and pleasing, the tannins provide approachability with beautiful harmony and balance. There is significant presence, depth, and concentration in this Private Reserve, foreshadowing cellar-worthy potential that will continue to evolve, unfold, and develop across the next few decades. Blend 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot
