Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic big napa cap fruit forward Jammy dense and well balanced from start to finish - iconic vineyard with the touch of wine maker Jeff Ames

Dark cherry, red currant, vanilla and sweet spices. Velvet tannins for a 2012. The finish is long and lingering. This wine is a great example of the grapes coming from the incredible Beckstoffer vineyards. #greatwine #beckstoffer, #boichfamilycellar #wine #sommelier #vino #napa #napacabernet #cabernetsauvignon

Deep ruby red. Lots of dark fruits on the nose like plums and a bit of cinnamon and vanilla. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Velvety texture on the palate with dark fruits, dark cocoa, vanilla and caramel. Long finish. Delicious to see how these will develop over a couple years. Drink till 2028.

Classic Rutherford cab from John Boich. His first commercial release is elegant yet concentrated, with rich black fruit, cocoa powder, pencil shavings, and that Rutherford dust. Excellent. This will be one to watch as it gains secondary character with age. Winemaker is Jeff Ames.

Not bad for a warm vintage. Took some time to open up (about 2 hours). When it did cassis, blackberry jam, sage, with some dusty tannins in the finish.
