Give the Gift of History in a Bottle with Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Beaulieu Vineyard
A new, dedicated winery lets craftsmanship and quality reach new heights
NAPA, Calif., Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, give the gift of time in a bottle with the 2008 vintage Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Beaulieu Vineyard, the great American winery in the heart of Napa Valley.
Taste the past in a wine making tradition that dates to 1900 in the Rutherford "bench," a slice of the Napa Valley that's proven optimal for growing Cabernet.
Taste the present in the first vintage of Georges de Latour Private Reserve made completely within the "winery within a winery," dedicated solely to this signature Cabernet of Beaulieu Vineyard and completed in 2008.
Taste the future in the well-integrated components of flavor that experts predict will keep the wine aging gracefully for many years.
"Our new dedicated reserve winery gives us the flexibility and technology to create a truly world-class, premium wine," said Beaulieu Vineyard Director of Winemaking Jeffrey Stambor. (See video of his first 2008 vintage at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdd2bcgSp-8.)
With spectacular reviews for the last several vintages from prominent wine experts and publications, a gift of Georges de Latour will delight expert and novice wine connoisseurs alike, who will treasure the wine's longstanding and well-earned place as the standard bearer of California Cabernet, the first reserve Cabernet produced in America. Since 1936, Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has been a benchmark for excellence of California Cabernets.
