Description

The winner bidder will receive a 1998 bottle of Beaulieu Vineyards' Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet.

Deep black cherry, black olive and complex, mineral-licorice aromas reflect classic Rutherford. One of the most powerful Georges de Latour Cabernets in recent years, the dark berry flavors are framed by powerful, rich tannins. Well balanced and full-bodied, the finish features the dense minerality and structure typical of Clones 6 and 4. Wine spectator rated this wine 87 points.

Varietal: 100% Cabernet
Appellation: 100% Napa Valley
Aging Potential: 10-25 years

The roots of Beaulieu Vineyard were firmly planted in Napa Valley by Frenchman Georges de Latour, a native of Bordeaux, in 1900. Within a few years he purchased 128 acres of prime vineyard land adjacent to his home in Rutherford, and then later bought more land near Oakville. Today these vineyards are at the heart of Beaulieu Vineyard’s production of Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon.
