This is exceptional, truly the type of big brawny Cabernet you would expect of a Beckstoffer vineyard. Black fruits dominate and are so pervasive you can drink this now. But the backbone is there to make it for another 25 years. And it only costs a fraction of Hundred Acre.
Found these on line. I was not familar with the label. But very familar with BS Georges III vineyard and seeing fruit from there at this price point ($75)...well I had to give it a try. The old saying, if it seems to good to be true than it probably is applies here. I know in Napa, it all starts with quality fruit, but this goes to show it is also important as to the rest of the process. This was all fruit - just a gooey mess. If tasting blind, I would have thought a $20 bottle

Better than my last bottle. Bottle variation? Bottle shock? Pleasantly surprised.
