2018 Georges de Latour Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve is fabulous. Deep, rich and explosive, the 2018 is a fine addition to the lineup of one of Napa Valley's most historic wines. Deep red fruits, chocolate, leather and licorice unfold in the glass. With air, floral notes, raspberry and a hint of blood orange emerge. The wine has a lot of depth, but the tannins are finer than a few years ago. Shorter time on the skins and fewer barrel fermentations really show off the pedigree of these Rutherford sites. The 2018 is sensational.
