The 2017 BV Georges de Latour Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve from Rutherford showcases the hallmark richness and depth of Napa Valley, earning a remarkable 97 points. This magnum-sized beauty unfolds with layers of dark cherry, ripe blackberry, and a hint of cedar, all underpinned by velvety tannins and a touch of minerality that speaks to its exceptional terroir. The wine’s balanced acidity brings freshness, making it wonderfully approachable now, yet it has the structure to age gracefully for years to come. Picture this bottle at your next gathering, perfectly paired with a grilled ribeye or a decadent dark chocolate dessert. With its impeccable quality, this wine is not just a purchase; it’s a smart buy for anyone looking to elevate their collection.
