Producer notes: "This vineyard was one of the original Beaulieu Vineyard sites and a key component to the Georges de Latour bottling—a benchmark Cabernet for many years under André Tchelistcheff, who is often referred to as America's most influential post-Prohibition winemaker. Located in the Rutherford Bench adjacent to the Silverado Trail in Napa, the site features well-drained river gravel soils and allows for a long, slow ripening process. The 2018 Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III is a classically styled Cabernet from the historic Rutherford property. Fresh currants with highlights of red fruit abound in this fresh and fragrant wine. Undertones of mountain blueberry further add depth to the wonderful aromatics. The palate is saturated with fruit extracts while the tannins are elegantly layered into the architecture. On the palate, earthy undertones along with anise and crushed rocks complete the profile. Taking a page out of our Pinot Noir playbook, this wine was crafted in dairy tanks using foot treading, etc. This is a profound, elegant wine showing that site specificity can be achieved.. Quantities are very limited."
