Rutherford's Beaulieu Vineyard, established in 1900, helped to transform the Napa Valley into an internationally-renowned wine-lovers paradise. BV's portfolio of wines has earned it more rave reviews from the press than we can count, as well as thousands and thousands of ardent fans among wine lovers all over the world. To this day, the BV continues to produce world-class wines at every price point. 

BV Reserve wines are handcrafted from the finest grapes of the vintage from Rutherford, Carneros and other Napa Valley appellations. When winemaker André Techelistcheff joined Beaulieu Vineyard in 1938, he tasted the de Latour family’s private wine – what they called “Private Reserve” – from the 1936 vintage. This Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine was so distinctive that Techelistcheff insisted it be bottled and sold as the winery’s flagship offering. In 1940, BV released the first vintage of Private Reserve and named it in honor of its founder. The resulting wine became the first release of "Georges de Latour Private Reserve" Cabernet Sauvignon - and Napa Valley’s first “cult” Cabernet. (winery notes) Check out the press on the 2019!!

“Wow! The aromas to this are really exceptional, with a tangerine edge to the blackcurrants, graphite, lead pencil, flowers and wet earth. It changes all the time. So expressive and refined. Full-bodied with great intensity and depth of fruit. The ultra-fine tannins display millions of layers. The texture on the palate is superb and lasts for minutes. This is the new 1974 Georges de Latour, which was a legend. Real Napa Valley red here. Drinkable now, to understand it, but truly great in five to six years and onwards. Benchmark.”

"Lastly, the Grand Vin 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges De Latour Private Reserve is just about pure perfection, and the fact that there are roughly 12,000 cases is incredible. Classis darker fruits (cassis, currants) as well as chocolate, leafy tobacco, and loamy earth all define the bouquet, and this full-bodied, concentrated, powerful, yet also elegant 2019 has the balance and structure to evolve for decades. It should be relatively easy to find this in the market, and you won't be disappointed."
