Wine Tasting Event: In 1900, when Georges de Latour's wife, Fernande, first laid eyes on the Napa Valley land that would become the original Rutherford vineyard, she said, "Quel beau lieu!" meaning "What a beautiful place!”. We would like to bring the best of BV 1. BV Napa Cabernet ( opening with a generous burst of blackberry and ripe plum, interwoven with rich layers of cocoa bean, molasses, and chocolate-covered cherries. Subtle hints of toasted hazelnut skin lend a nutty warmth, while a streak of ripe strawberry adds a lifted, high-toned contrast to the darker fruit core. The palate is medium-bodied in density with a lively structure and freshness in acidity that emphasizes its red-fruited profile. Notes of sweet Bing cherry and red raspberry take center stage, offering a fresh, juicy palate that carries through to a long, raspberry sorbet-like finish. Underpinning the fruit is a fine thread of dark chocolate, which adds nuance and depth. Fine-grained, felt-like tannins provide a soft but structured backbone, supporting the wine’s vibrant character and promising a graceful evolution in the bottle. This Cabernet is mouth-pleasing and approachable, making it the perfect accompaniment to grilled meat dishes like beef tenderloin, duck breast with cherry glaze, or roasted rosemary-encrusted lamb chops, or to pair alongside aged cheeses or mushroom risotto.) 2. Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - ( opens with fragrant red berries, ripe plum, and hints of violet. The palate is silky with a plush, full-bodied texture highlighting black cherry, cassis, and pomegranate flavors, accented by wild brambleberry, red berry compote, and a hint of darker graphite. Polished and elegant, this wine offers firm tannins supporting grip, depth, and structure. Bright acidity provides buoyancy and juiciness, keeping everything in balance and leading to a long, persistent Rutherford Dust finish.) 3. Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 23 ( Since its release of Inaugural Vintage 1936, recognized as a benchmark Cabernet of Napa) - The nose reveals layers of slate, Spanish cedar, suede, graphite, blackberry, black raspberry, and boysenberry. Wild lavender, thyme, juniper berry, olive, and kola nut add depth and intrigue. The palate is full and expressive, with a silky, mouthwatering texture. Red fruit flavors evolve into dark, alluring black plum and ripe blackberry, with mineral, herbal, and floral undertones. The tannins are signature Rutherford – silky, dusty, fine-grained, and chewy – providing ample structure with balance and finesse. The finish is exceptionally long and mouthwatering, with black pepper, clove, mocha, and cigar leaf. Refined, opulent, and age-worthy. 4. BV Sauv Blanc 2023 ( inaugural release of this Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a beautiful expression from vines located within the heart of the valley, offering fragrant notes of Meyer lemon, white peach, orange blossom, and bright pineapple, alongside more subtle oak notes of brioche toast and marzipan. The palate provides a focused mouthfeel up front, bursting with ripe citrus fruits, lasting in length, finishing round and rich with a luscious core of depth, vibrancy, and persistence. Extremely balanced and pleasing, this Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and lively with mouthwatering character, inviting sip after sip. Enjoy on its own as a refreshing aperitif or pair with charcuterie platters, mixed salads, and lighter fish or chicken dishes.) 5. BV Reserve Tapestry - dry, full-bodied red with compelling spice, polished structure, and a long, energetic finish.
