Beaulieu Vineyard, established in 1900 by Georges de Latour and his wife, is said to be the first Napa Valley Cult Wine. Georges and his wife originally bought four acres and over the next several decades, expanded their land holdings. Georges set out to produce wines that rivaled French wines, and that he did.
Beaulieu Vineyard is one of the oldest and most historic estates in Napa. Their first vintage of Private Reserve was released in 1940, “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.” – Beaulieu Vineyard

“The 2018 Georges de Latour is the best young vintage of the flagship wine I have ever tasted.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve is fabulous. Inky, rich and explosive, the 2018 is a fine addition to the lineage of one of Napa Valley's most historic wines. Inky red fruit, chocolate, leather and licorice all open in the glass.
