2015 Purlieu Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

$225.00

The 2015 Purlieu Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a library release of extraordinary depth — a wine that has had a decade to reveal the full complexity of one of Napa Valley's most celebrated recent vintages. The 2015 growing season was marked by warm, dry conditions that concentrated flavors beautifully while retaining the natural acidity that gives great Napa Cabernet its structure and longevity. Purlieu Wines, the project of French-trained winemaker Julien Fayard, sources from the Georges III Vineyard in the heart of the Rutherford AVA, where the legendary silty loam soils and the appellation's signature "Rutherford Dust" character impart a distinctive earthy minerality found nowhere else in Napa Valley.

Now approaching its peak drinking window, the 2015 Purlieu Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has evolved into something truly special — dried cassis, dark cherry, and plum have deepened into notes of leather, cedar, dried herbs, and subtle tobacco, with a long, velvety finish that lingers with remarkable persistence. The tannins are fully integrated, making this a wine of seamless elegance and complexity. A rare opportunity to acquire a mature, cellar-ready Napa Cabernet from a benchmark vintage and one of the appellation's most compelling vineyard sites. Serve alongside roasted lamb, duck confit, or a selection of aged cheeses.
