Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 750ml

Georges de Latour Private Reserve is Beaulieu Vineyard's flagship, made since 1936 from BV Ranch No. 1 and No. 2 on the western Rutherford bench. Georges de Latour first planted those vines in the early 1900s.

The 2020 is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, from clones 4, 6, 7, 8 and 169. Part of the wine fermented in new barrels, and it aged 24 months in French oak, 95% new. BV calls 2020 one of the most challenging harvests in its history, with lower yields. It's 14.7% alcohol.

The winery describes black cherry, plum, violet, rose petal, spearmint and bay, with vanilla and allspice, then dark chocolate, tobacco, graphite and chewy "Rutherford dust" tannins.

It sits above BV's Tapestry Reserve and Napa Valley Cabernet. Buy it for a milestone or the cellar.

Wine Enthusiast suggests decanting if you open it soon; its window is 2027 to 2040. Serve with a rib roast.
