Beaulieu Vineyard Private Reserve Georges de Latour Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 04
| Vintage: | 2004 |
| Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Appellation: | Napa Valley |
| Alcohol %: | 14.5 |
| Tasting Notes: | Georges de Latour Cabernet Sauvignon showcases our best fruit, primarily derived from the original BV vineyards in Rutherford, now enhanced by a high percentage of unique clones with stronger flavors, like Clone 6, Clone 4 and Clone 337. These vineyards and a few others in Oakville and St. Helena are moderate- to low-yielding sites with gravelly-loam soils and ideal drainage for Cabernet Sauvignon. |
| Ratings: | BV Private Reserve has been on a real roll. This Georges is enormous and impressive, gigantic in fruit, explosive in blackberry tart, cherry pie, blueberry, plum, cigar box and vanilla aromas and flavors. Structurally, it’s an impeccable wine, showing the fine acidity and firm, dusty tannins that always constitute Georges. Beautiful now, and should age well for 10–20 years, in a cool cellar. Score: 95. —Steve Heimoff, December 15, 2007. |
