Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is the flagship of the renowned Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) winery in Napa Valley and is one of the most important wines in California. Since the first bottling in 1936, this iconic Cabernet Sauvignon has stood for the highest quality and timeless elegance. The grapes come from the best plots on the historic Rutherford estate, where the deep, volcanic ash soils provide outstanding structure and depth.
The 2021 vintage is characterized by exceptional concentration and balance, shaped by a warm, dry climate with ideal conditions for slow, even ripening of the grapes. After selective manual harvesting, the must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to ensure precise extraction of color, aromas and tannins. The wine then matures for around 22 months in French oak barrels (a high proportion of which are new wood), which gives it additional depth, complexity and fine spice.
In the glass, the Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2021 is a deep ruby red. The bouquet is intense with fragrant notes of wild sage, blackcurrant, cedar and fresh mint. The palate is expansive and full-bodied with a lush mouthfeel that shows layers of ripe blackberries, redcurrants and red rose petals alongside earthier tones of graphite, licorice root, gravel stone and dark chocolate. Subtle baking spices from ageing in French oak barrels add notes of sandalwood, cloves and Ceylon cinnamon.
A wine with great ageing potential that can be enjoyed young with decanted maturity, but will continue to gain in elegance and finesse over the coming decades.
Wine Spectator evaluated almost 10,500 wines in 2024 and voted the 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in 2nd place in the best rankings.
