2021 Beaulieu Vineyard Bv Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley California

The 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard BV Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the iconic flagship wine of Beaulieu Vineyard and one of Napa Valley's most historic Cabernet Sauvignons. Crafted primarily from hand-selected Cabernet Sauvignon grown on BV's Rutherford estate vineyards and blended with 6% Petit Verdot, the wine reflects the distinctive character of the Rutherford Bench. The 2021 vintage produced small, intensely flavored berries, resulting in remarkable concentration and balance. Aromas of wild sage, blackcurrant, cedar, and fresh mint lead to layers of ripe blackberry, redcurrant, graphite, licorice, gravelly stone, and dark chocolate. French oak aging adds subtle notes of sandalwood, clove, and Ceylon cinnamon, while the signature Rutherford Dust tannins are silky, polished, and fine-grained. Powerful yet elegant, this cellar-worthy Cabernet offers impressive depth and a long, refined finish. Enjoy with grilled steak, lamb, prime rib, or other rich meat dishes.
