BV Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2009 3L
The Winery
Beaulieu Vineyard
Over a hundred years ago, when George de Latour and his wife were on their first visit to the Napa Valley, they exclaimed “beau lieu” upon seeing what would soon be their property. It means “beautiful pace” in French, so beautiful that de Latour promptly sold his business and founded the first four acres of Beaulieu Vineyards, known by many as BV. De Latour did two things that made him a Napa rock star- he imported Phylloxera resistant rootstock from Europe and a revolutionary winemaker born in Russia and trained in France, Andre Tchelistcheff. For over a century, BV has been producing wines that are classic, bold and quintessential Napa Valley.
Summary
The BV Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2009 is a prestigious wine from California's Rutherford region, recognized for its depth and elegance. This magnum format showcases a blend primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a hint of Bordeaux varietals, aged for approximately 20 months in new French oak. The cooler growing season of 2009 contributed to the wine's balance, resulting in a fleshy profile rich with dark red fruit, licorice, and spices. The wine also exhibits notes of black currant, bacon, and cedar, with finely-grained tannins that offer structure while allowing for early enjoyment. This vintage reflects a classic yet modern style, making it a standout among its peers.
