Beaulieu Vineyard is one of the most historic and legendary Napa Valley wineries of all time, and their Georges de Latour Cabernet Sauvignon stands up among some of the greatest of great Cabs... ever. We have their 97-point 2020 vintage for a downright mesmerizing price... with EXTRA $$$ off per bottle when you order two or more! Hubba hubba!

Founded in 1900 by French immigrants Georges and Fernandes de Latour in Rutherford, Beaulieu Vineyard was named for Fernande’s exclamation about their new 4-acre parcel: “Quel beau lieu!” (“What a beautiful place!”) The winery survived Prohibition through a sacramental wine permit and rose to international prominence after the arrival of famed winemaker André Tchelistcheff in 1938, who helped launch the iconic Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in 1940 – of which we’re offering the immaculate 2020 vintage today! Now, over a century later, BV remains a defining force in American wine, rooted in Rutherford’s signature dusty terroir and continuing to honor its legacy that helped to define American fine wine.

The 2020 vintage of this iconic flagship Cabernet is a true statement wine – crafted in a challenging Napa growing season that yielded smaller, intensely concentrated fruit, and handled with artful vinification, fermenting partially in French oak and aging 24 months in 95% new French barrels. The single-vineyard bottling comes from two ranches in Western Rutherford and is made in an entirely separate winery from the rest of the portfolio in order to extract the very best from its hallowed ground origins.

One sip in and it coats your mouth with generous, chocolatey goodness akin to a well-baked lava cake. There’s a fine, powdery character to the well-structured tannins, and it’s absolutely packed with black cherry, kirsch, and blackberry pie, with a hint of vanilla, cocoa powder, and myriad spices of clove, cinnamon, and cigar box. It’s big, bold, yet oh-so-smooth and seductive, absolutely living up to its legendary history, pedigree, and worldwide acclaim. One bottle gets you a lovely price of under $150, but two or more knocks another huge chunk OFF each bottle - making this the best price on the web! Save more money; buy more great wine... free shipping on 3 bottles... sounds like a win-win to me!

PAIRING IDEAS: Of course, you could go with a big, juicy, well-prepared steak – and that would be wonderful – but this would also be stunning with a decadent beef tenderloin carpaccio topped with fresh herbs, arugula, shaved Parmesan, high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and a sprinkling of minced red onion.

About The Producer

The Georges de Latour Name Is Now a Wine Legacy When André Tchelistcheff 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 Tchelistcheff insisted it be bottled and sold as the winery’s flagship offering. In 1940, Beaulieu Vineyard released the first vintage of Private Reserve and named it in our founder’s honor. The resulting wine became the first release of Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that was destined to become Napa Valley’s first “cult” Cabernet. In 70+ years since, Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has become the benchmark of Napa Valley Cabernet as one of the most collected American wines.
