Producer Description

Sourced from the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford, this wine is produced from 100% Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes originated from a specific section of the vineyard that was formerly part of the Napa River riverbed. This section benefits from an abundance of minerals and rocks left behind that makes it distinct from the surrounding terroir. Medium- to full-bodied and approachable in its youth, this wine features notes of sweet tobacco, spearmint, and ripe red fruit with opulent and soft, rounded tannins.

Wine Spectator: 96 Points

A dense and winey style, with cassis, blackberry and plum preserve notes backed by good energy in the form of a touch of bramble, sparkles of licorice snap and a whiff of violet. Stays vivid and engaging from start to finish. This is rock solid. Best from 2025 through 2042. 275 cases made.

Wine Advocate: 96 Points

Sourcing for the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard GIII continues to be from clone 337 in the vineyard's F block, with maturation in 100% new French oak. Ripe cherries are joined by herbal shadings and a mélange of dried spices on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is plush and creamy, with a tremendously long finish. Really seductive stuff, this is already approachable yet seems to have the balance and concentration to drink well for up to 20 years.
