The 1936 Georges de Latour Private Reserve, Napa Valley’s first reserve wine, gained international recognition. Grapes selected from the finest blocks of our historic BV vineyards on the Rutherford Bench. Splash of Petit Verdot added violet nuances and structure. Our flagship wine—for life’s most important celebrations.

Wine Spectator 93 points (Sep 14 2011) Impressive for its stylish delicacy, finesse and subtle details, this firm red offers complex loamy earth, cherry, currant and plum flavors that build and gain traction on the finish, where the tannins have a pleasing loamy edge. Drink now through 2022.—J.L.
