Plush fruit but structured. Textbook use of how new oak should be used. Not overwhelming but enough to frame the beautiful fruit. This is my ribeye wine. — 5 years ago

Just an infant, but under the covers, there’s a very tor style ripe profile with pie spice, violets, blueberry, and blackberry. Very rich and needs lots of breathing room. Thanks @Eric ! — 6 years ago

Love this vintage. Decanted for 4hrs and really improved and mellowed with air. A beast of a wine that should develop well. — 8 years ago

This was still just so young. Starting to soften but not into development yet. Plenty of rutherford dust and very drying tannins but I wish I could have decanted this for several hours. — 9 years ago

05 deep dark fruit, with Chocolate, with a little earthiness. On the palate this wine was powerful yet balance with the tannins seamlessly integrated. Long lush finish! — 10 years ago

Clean and tropical in the nose, fruit forward. The taste is slick and pleasing without the butter like a normal chard — 11 years ago

Pretty solid. It definitely kept me coming back for more. It has been a while since a big Cab Sauv has made my taste buds perk up. — 12 years ago

Decant for sediment(some fine/cloudy sediment). A sublime dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: dark plum, mint, licorice, smoked meat, floral, wet cedar. Taste: smooth, creamy wine with subtle blackberry/plum, cedar, pepper, graphite, and a dark bitter chocolate dry medium plus finish. Drink em if you got em, fruit is fading....nice price for a Beckstoffer To Kalon. — 4 years ago

Hard to rate this fairly given it’s young age and lack of decanting.. it was a little tight and closed initially but started to open up as the bottle was consumed .. Has great upside and I can see this easily being a 95+ point wine if given the proper treatment! — 6 years ago

There is something about Beckstoffer Georges III vineyard Cabernets that I almost always love. Like this wine, they almost always have a beautiful combination of black cherry and blueberry fruit in abundance. Maybe not as serious and structured as a To Kalon or a Dr. Crane cab, but so pleasurable and makes me so happy! — 8 years ago

Wow, blackberry jam on the nose upon opening. Wonderful balance and smooth tannins. Should go perfect with Father's Day Ribeye Feast! — 9 years ago

Alas, a final hurrah in which to say, “Fare thee well, Del Frisco’s Grille!”

As for the wine itself, really delicious and seductively powerful with loads of potential for the coming years. A bit more feminine than the To Kalon, the MH has some finesse and sensual elegance that makes it less of a Lamborghini and more of a Ferrari. Lots of licorice, plum, blackberry, and cassis. I had the waitress pop the cork and pour me a glass for my steak, but I stopped at one glass. I’ll be taking this selection home to see how it evolves over the next day (or two).

EDIT: Day two and this wine is on fire 🔥So delicious. Much more balanced; it’s like it knows its own identity now. — 8 years ago
