Cabernet Sauvignon · North Coast
95 points from Antonio Galloni.
“Here in its first release, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rarity is a new flagship bottling sourced from BV's iconic #1 and #2 ranches. The blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot yields a wine of tremendous depth and concentration. Dark fruit, leather, tobacco, lavender, espresso and mocha all build in the glass. It is interesting to taste the 2013 next to the 2016, as it was done at a time in the estate's history when concentration and heavy extraction were more central to the winemaking philosophy than they are today. Give this a few years to come around. Bottled only in magnums.”

Beaulieu
2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, North CoastBeaulieu Vineyard is a historically significant winery in California's Rutherford AVA that has been producing wine for more than a century. During Prohibition, it managed to obtain a contract to supply sacramental wine to churches, meaning it was able to remain in production between 1920 and 1933 when the Volstead Act was repealed. This makes Beaulieu one of the longest continually operational wineries in the United States.
The company was founded in 1900 by Georges de Latour. His background was not in winemaking or vineyard management, so he hired famed enologist André Tchelistcheff to come to Rutherford to establish the estate. Tchelistcheff went on to create the prestige cuvée Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and mentored many of the next generation of Napa winemakers, including Robert Mondavi, Mike Grgich and Joe Heitz.
