I have this one from earlier too:
2018 Beaulieu Vineyard Reserve Clone 4 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Why You'll Love This Wine This is the exact clone that goes into BV's legendary Georges de Latour Private Reserve—bottled on its own so you can taste what makes it special. Lush, opulent, and incredibly smooth.
Tasting Notes Full-bodied with intense aromas of perfumed blackberry, black cherry, and dark plum. The palate delivers blueberry pie, black licorice, and baking spice notes of nutmeg, anise, and brown sugar. Silky tannins and a long, luxurious finish.
Food Pairings
- Prime ribeye or filet mignon
- Braised short ribs
- Dark chocolate desserts
- Aged gouda
Why It Works Clone 4 was selected through 14 years of trials with UC Davis as ideal for Rutherford's soils. The 2018 vintage was near-perfect in Napa. This is reserve-level quality at a fraction of the Private Reserve price.
