Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2001
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Napa Valley, California
winemaker's notes:
Dark, black-ruby color. The aromas reflect classic "Rutherford dust" notes of black cherry, loamy mineral-earth tones, and licorice, along with fine new oak vanilla highlights. Medium full-bodied, with deep cherry-mineral, currant –anise flavors, this vintage has a fine veneer of tannins combined with good acidity to support 10-15 years aging. Rich, supple fruit softens the texture. The sweet fragrance and taste of vanilla from the new oak add measurable length and structure in the finish. A fine wine to drink young with grilled steaks, roast leg of lamb with shallots, or a ripe wedge of Fontina or aged Vermont cheddar cheese.

A wonderful wine that is very drinkable now. The difficult part with this wine is waiting for it to improve. I just bought a case.
