Press / Wine Critic's Reviews
 
Notes from the Winemaker:

The Georges de Latour Cabernet showcases our best fruit, primarily derived from our original estate vineyards in Rutherford. The wine was aged for 20 months in primarily French oak barrels, 80 percent new.

Our 2006 Georges de Latour marries refined elegance with opulent intensity and robust character. At once, the senses are wooed by heady aromas of blackberry bramble, ripe cassis, mocha and spice. The dark, concentrated fruit picks up intensity across the palate, joined by classic Rutherford notes of black licorice, loam and coffee. Its formidable body is balanced by firm tannins that span the middle and linger with hints of cocoa through the finish

Ratings / Reviews:

Wine Enthusiast Magazine - 95 Points:
"Even in this vintage, which was not so great, Beaulieu has succeeded with this dramatic, classic Cabernet Sauvignon. It's absolutely delicious, offering a range of blackberry, black currant and cedar flavors, complexed with notes of chocolate, anise, sweet smoky leather and Asian spices. Beautiful now for its velvety softness, but has the inherent structure to last for a long time. Through 2013, and much longer if you like older Cabernet."

Connoisseur's Guide to California Wines - 92 Points:
"Very deep and extracted, and showing again that 2006 is a vintage capable of making very good wines even it has proven to be more difficult than in recent years, this expressive effort smells of currants, black cherry and hints of tea leaves with a nice dollop of sweet, slightly caramelly oak on top. Supple at entry, then firming up across the palate and tightening without losing its way at the finish, this one boasts classic structure and classic character."

Robert Parker - 91+ Points:
"While the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour is the strongest wine made at Beaulieu in many years, it is eclipsed by the 2007. The 2006 Georges de Latour exhibits a dense inky/purple color along with a sweet bouquet of graphite, licorice, charcoal, creme de cassis, and sweet cherries. Deep, ripe, and full-bodied with powerful tannins, admirable structure, and superb depth, it will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age, and should be drinkable over the following 25+ years."
