Reviews:

• John Gilman: The wine takes a good fifteen or twenty minutes to flesh out on the palate after opening, as the remaining tannins are a bit bare-boned out of the blocks, but the fruit comes up nicely and this wine gives a lovely hour to ninety minute window of fine drinking, before it again starts to get a bit sinewy on the palate. During its prime period, the wine offers up a really lovely nose of red and black cherries, a bit of plum, Rutherford dust spice tones, sweet cigar wrapper and gentle notes of toasted coconut from its American oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and really quite nicely delineated, with a good core, still a bit of tannin and fine freshness and purity on the long and focused finish. This starts out as a nice 87 wine and then climbs up to 91 when all of the constituent components are open and in place, stays there for an hour or so, and then begins to gently fade a bit and get four-square.

Producer Information

Beaulieu Vineyard is a historically significant winery in California’s Rutherford AVA that has been producing wine for more than a century. During Prohibition, it managed to obtain a contract to supply sacramental wine to churches, meaning it was able to remain in production between 1920 and 1933 when the Volstead Act was repealed. This makes Beaulieu one of the longest continually operational wineries in the United States. The company was founded in 1900 by Georges de Latour with the assistance of enologist André Tchelistcheff. Tchelistcheff went on to create the prestige cuvée Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and mentored many of the next generation of Napa winemakers, including Robert Mondavi, Mike Grgich and Joe Heitz. The company is currently part of Treasury Wine Estates. The Beaulieu vineyards sit at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Rutherford AVA, and are planted with Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec. As well as these plots, Beaulieu has vines in the St Helena, Calistoga and Carneros AVAs. There are many different varieties planted throughout these vineyards – Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Marsanne and Roussane, Mourvedre, Touriga Nacional, Merlot and Sangiovese. The flagship Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is hand-picked in the vineyard prior to fermentation in French oak barrels, concrete tanks and stainless steel tanks. After a period of barrel-aging, a selection of the top ten barrels are selected for bottling. The remaining Reserve collection is composed of varietal single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wines sourced from various estate vineyards whilst the Napa Valley is the entry level range of a duo of Cabernet Sauviognon and Chardonnay.
