Beaulieu Vineyard, founded in 1900 by Georges de Latour, is a benchmark estate in Napa Valley.

Wine Description
The 2021 Georges de Latour Private Reserve shows a deep ruby hue with purple highlights. Aromatically, it is layered and expressive, offering cassis, black cherry, plum, violet, rose petal, cedar, sandalwood, tobacco, and dark chocolate, accented by graphite, licorice, and hints of wild herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with concentrated flavours of blackberry, toffee, vanilla bean, and mint, supported by polished, fine-grained tannins often described as Rutherford dust. Racy acidity gives lift and freshness, while the long finish carries spice, mineral, and floral tones.
