Why You'll Love This Wine Named for Fernande de Latour, the widow who kept BV alive through Prohibition, this is an elegant, refined Bordeaux-style blend with serious pedigree. A tribute to one of Napa's founding families.
Tasting Notes Full-bodied blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Perfumed aromas of violet, rose petal, cassis, and wild sage. The palate is silky and layered with black cherry, boysenberry, and dark chocolate. Velvety tannins with hints of cinnamon and clove. Long, mouthwatering finish.
Food Pairings
- Beef tenderloin
- Braised short ribs

- Aged hard cheeses
Why It Works The 2017 vintage was exceptional in Rutherford—balanced, elegant, and expressive. This blend honors BV's French heritage with a nod to classic Bordeaux styling. Drinking beautifully now but built to age. A wine with a story worth sharing.
