BEAULIEU VINEYARDS 07′Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet

Vanessa Weeks with bottle of Beaulieu Vineyard

It is time to fill your cellars and the place to stock up is AMAZING GRAPES WINE STORE.  We have just come into a beautiful stash of extremely cellar worthy wines!  If you have room for some fantastic Napa Cabs then you need to get down here, and fast!  With names like, Far Niente, Silver Oak, Matriarch, Plump Jack, Darioush, Larkmead and Paul Hobbs and vintages ranging from 1997-2007, they won’t last long.  I had such a hard time making up my mind who to take home, with so many beauties to choose from.  I finally chose the Beaulieu Vineyards 07′ Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet.  It was my friends’ Birthday and I know he loves Cabs and I also knew he would open the bottle on the spot and not cellar it.  Yes it’s all about me, even when it’s someone else’s Birthday.  So what, I was killing two birds with one stone.  I got an awesome gift for a dear friend and I got the chance to drink a killer bottle of wine.  Total Score!

This is a classic Napa Cab, very deep dark and inky in color, with depths unimaginable.  Aromas of sweet black fruit, spicy smoked oak and full bodied.  This wine had layer upon layer of flavors.  Every time I came back to it I discovered something new and interesting.  The core was earth, black licorice and dried currant, but there was more to come, the finish kept going.  I know I said I was only going to review inexpensive wines, but this wine was too special to pass up.  Plus I feel like I only paid 1/2 price since I gave it has a gift and got to drink it!
