This wine transitions seamlessly into a beautiful red-blue-black fruit medley and through the mid-pallet and leading to the finish. They are hints of fresh cedar, black plum, bayleaf, bittersweet chocolate and anise. Full-bodied mouthfeel with muscular but smooth tannins and a long elegant finish. Built to age 15+ years.

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer GIII Vineyard Block A1A has a deep garnet-purple color, leaping from the glass with vibrant notes of red currant jelly, fresh blueberries, and cassis, plus suggestions of wild sage, crushed rocks, and Sichuan pepper. The full-bodied palate is filled with energetic black and red berry flavors, supported by finely grained tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with great length and a skip in its step." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown 6/24
