Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Since its inaugural vintage in 1936, our Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has been widely recognized as the benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford. Our deep understanding of terroir comes from more than a century of crafting rich, classic Napa Valley wines.
2021 Vintage: A Remarkable Expression
The 2021 Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is truly exceptional and exemplifies one of the finest vintages in recent years of our iconic flagship wine. The bouquet expresses intense aromatics, with fragrant notes of wild sage, blackcurrant, cedar, and fresh mint. The palate is broad, expansive, and full-bodied, offering a sumptuous mouthfeel and texture, with layers of ripe blackberry, redcurrant, and red rose petal alongside earthier tones of graphite, licorice root, gravelly stone, and dark chocolate.
Subtle baking spices from French oak barrel aging contribute nuances of sandalwood, clove, and Ceylon cinnamon, while the signature "Rutherford Dust" tannins are silky, polished, and fine-grained, finishing long with a cocoa-powder-like texture. Slightly reserved upon release but incredibly drinkable, elegant, and well-balanced, the tannins provide immediate approachability with beautiful harmony.
With significant presence, depth, and concentration, this Private Reserve guarantees exceptional cellar potential. It will continue to evolve, unfold, and develop over the next few decades, showcasing the extraordinary character of this vintage.
