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 12 2012) Bold, rich and concentrated, focused on a dense core of blackberry, cherry, red and black licorice. Firmly tannic and chewy, with subtle earthy notes at the foundation. Best from 2014 through 2026.—J.L.
