| Description: | Winemaker Trevor Durling grew up on Sonoma County, and has worked stints at Sonoma-Cutrer, Gloria Ferrer, and Provenance wineries. However, it was his integral contributions to the Hewitt Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, a wine that earned Wine Spectator's 2013 #4 Wine of the Year, that caught the eye of Beaulieu Vineyards. Now, Trevor presides as only the fifth chief winemaker in the winery's 120-year history. Jeb Dunnuck 93 Points - "The star of the show from this team in 2020 is the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges De Latour Private Reserve, a deep purple-hued Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 24 months in French oak (95% new). It has terrific aromatics of blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, graphite, and spice, and these carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium to full-bodied, has solid tannins, good mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. There are some firmer, chalky tannins here, but this is beautifully done and should have two decades of longevity.". Wine Spectator 92 Points - "a ripe, poised wine, with a core of warmed cassis and plum reduction notes, gilded with a hint of violet and underscored by a warm loamy edge. Offers a solid frame, thanks to generous toast, with apple wood and alder hints hanging through the finish as the dark, fleshy fruit slowly unwinds. Solid. Best from 2024 through 2035." |
