Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Another gem that we were able to taste at WS this past weekend. My first WS Cab. I called it a Pinot lovers Cab. I enjoyed it enough to bring one home for future enjoyment. Notes from winemaker describe this as a “classically stoked Cab from the historic Rutherford property. Fresh currants with highlights of red fruit.” It also offers undertones of mountain fruit. — 4 years ago

Aromatic. Definitely gingerbread on the top end and fig paste and orange peel below. Pleasant acidity and winter melon, nuts, and light citrus oil flavors. Enjoyable! — 6 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. — 8 years ago

Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

10' Fairchild GIII . The 2010 bottle without a doubt has gotten so much better in the last two years!

Full-bodied, somewhat of a bruiser right out of the bottle ( green olives). A hour decanting & the tannins/acidity have softened up. Nose- Expressive flowers, sweet black cherry, spices. Color Deep purple. Palate- Dense , black fruits( Blackberry) spices, creamy oak. A well polished wine.

Fairchild & Schrader are the best stuff coming out of GIII ? IMO I have not had the Sarah Francis G III.

Certain parts of this vineyard are sensational. Drink/ Hold. I'd be curious to see how this develops in the next 2/3 years.

@David L what are your thoughts on Myriads G III? He is coming out with a new bottling next week from there too

@Greg Ballington I would foolish to comment on the 13, 14, 15. Years prior to that the two best G III I've had without question are Fairchild & Schrader.

Really a very nice Napa Cabernet from a great vineyard site in a good drinking place age wise. On cork pop the oak was too overbearing - that sort of oaky sweetness that I don’t care for. But decanted for a couple hours as a result and quite nice after that. Deep violet in the glass. Deep dark fruit notes. Unmistakably Napa, for sure. Some glycerin feel. But a long finish with just enough acid to keep it together. I don’t often drink Napa cab, but on a fall day with burgers it’s hard to complain. — 5 years ago

Beckstoffer Georges III Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

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

Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

1.5 hour decant (just a little cloudy sediment). A thrilling dark purple garnet color. On the nose: blackberry, floral, spice, gravel. Taste: dry, acidic, medium body wine with blackberry, tobacco, cassis, some dusty tannis still there and a cherry cedar medium finish. — 5 years ago

Wasn’t sure if this would be awesome based on initial first impression. But just a quick double decant brought it to life. Dust, chocolate, cassis, cola, fine grained tannins that are totally soft and approachable. 96+ — 5 years ago

My first time trying this, and it is really terrific and a great value at the price point. Very full and complete on the palate. Lovely blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with a hint of baking spices and vanilla. I would definitely buy this again. Kudos @Anthony Biagi ! — 8 years ago
