BV Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Rutherford Napa Valley 2018
blessed: “held in reverence, bringing pleasure, contentment, or good fortune”
stupefied: “to put into a state of little or no sensibility; benumb the faculties of; put into a stupor”
stoked: “exhilarated; excited”
IN-DEED. ALL. THAT.
WOW!! A “baby Georges de Latour Private Reserve” (JS), 96 POINTS (plus two 94s from Vinous and Dunnuck, no less!!), a great vintage, good people of this galaxy, PLEASE don’t miss this Napa Valley classic today!! ** As in, we have dreadfully small amounts…**
BV. Wow. Every time I think the good fortune of big gun Napa Cab is waning, the tide turns and I swim in the seas of lustful ambrosia once again. MAN! It’s good to be a local -- I just had dinner at Rutherford Grill (next door to BV) last night! AFTER you grab what you need, read about the fascinating history of BV HERE at Food+Wine, if you like….
OK, sorry. We just get so pumped. Probably because we have been able, over the years, to drink a TON of 50s, 60s, 70s BV and they are just….legends… Anyway, yes, best price ever, HUGE press, “sumptuous” and opulent as the reviews note, for sure, with the very fine ‘18 vintage shining its light of BLUE, BLUE fruit, sandalwood, licorice and that just-right touch of mocha-liciousness (technical term there) with the excellent balance and harmoniousness the high-end BVs are known for. An all-time CLASSIC to have in the cellar for drinking next week or in 2037!!
Just a small batch this fine Tuesday...will go in a flash!
Since the late 19th century, the growers and vintners of Rutherford have played a significant role in the development of Napa Valley as a world-class winegrowing region
