2017 Krutz Family Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III
5/11/2024 - VAGenius Likes this wine: 95 Points
60 minute decant. Toasty oak nose with black currant, vanilla, and shredded coconut. Dense palate delivers boadloads of black cherry, chocolate, mocha, red currant and coffee. Fresh sage leads into finish of lingering French oak and fat tannins with sweet creme brulee, espresso crema, and vanilla been. Robert Parker might have called this "sexy" or "hedonistic"... it's a well done version of a plush Napa style. Great with a steak.

Quick decant. Nose shows a lot of smoke and oak. Rustic blackberry and juicy, sweet black raspberry plate delivers lots of excitement, adding some smoked meat notions before the finish. Vanilla bean leads off the ending, with chalky tannins, wild berry fruit, lingering spice, and oak.

2018 Desire Lines Mourvèdre Experimental Series #2: Fred’s Home Block

Quick decant. Nose of rhubarb, cherry, roses, and wild grasses. Lively and peppery palate with black raspberry, sweet cherry pie, and herbal bass notes. Smooth finish of polished tannins, caramel, and lingering herbal tea notes and light acidity. Singing tonight!
