Description

California's finest wine for you -- Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa:


1) 1990


Wine Spectator gave it 90 points.  A chunky and compacted Cabernet, with currant, mint and dark chocolate.  Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long, fruity finish.  Very ripe and rich.  Tight and still closed.  Retail $130


2)  2000


Wine Spectator gave it 92 points.  Medium full-bodied, with deep cherry-mineral, currant-anise flavors, and this vintage has a fine veneer of tannins combined with good acidity to support up to fifteen years of aging.  Retail $125


3)  2001


Wine Spectator gave it 93 points.  Dark, black-ruby color, notes of black cherry, loamy mineral-earth tones, and licorice, along with fine new oak vanilla highlights.  Medium full-bodied, with deep cherry-mineral, currant-anise flavors, this vintage has a fine veneer of tannins combined with good acidity to support 10-15 years aging.  Rich, supple fruit softens the texture.  The sweet fragrance and taste of vanilla from the new oak add measurable length and structure in the finish.  Retail $130


To enjoy this luscious wine, you will also receive a Penguin EZ Pull Corkscrew that utilizes patented technology and European styling, making it the easiest wine opener ever produced for consumer and restaurant use.  You just place the corkscrew on the neck of the bottle and pull the lever down to remove the cork in seconds.  The teflon-coated magnesium worm removes even synthetic corks easily.
