Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
All VintagesThe 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. It was aged 20 months in oak, 92% French and 8% Russian. Deep garnet colored, exuberant scents come bounding from the glass with gregarious baked blackberries, warm cassis and Black Forest cake notes over loads of unsmoked cigars, camphor, Chinese five spice and dried sage nuances plus a waft of woodsmoke. Wonderfully full-bodied, rich and concentrated (with an alcohol of 15.5%), it is jam-packed with baked blue and black fruit preserves flavors plus tons of exotic spice sparks, framed with a solid foundation of firm, grainy tannins and a lovely line of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
