2016 12c Cabernet Sauvignon G3 Reserve Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard
Community Tasting Note
Yack Man Likes this wine:
97 Points
Monday, October 12, 2020 - This wine is fantastic, it reminds me so much of the 2013 Myriad Georges III on release. Beautiful dark cherry and black berry fruits, cream de cassis, a tad of acidity with excellent fruit purity and extraction. Just a solid wine and so good, a wine that is truly under the radar. I guess you can tell, I love it. 96++ Points.

The new owners of 12C have renamed their wine "Perchance Estates". Leah said she tasted the 2018 recently and it is the same 12C profile. Cheers Dan.

She had the first two at 2 years out and the other two 3 years out. Steltzner at 3+ years. Myriad cab, rest from shipping and drink. Hope this helps. Cheers

I inquired of Mike about the New owners of the 12C label and he mention that he wasn't aware of them having a website currently and yes, I think that Leah assessments of the Myriad 2018 was spot on. In my opinion, the Peterson appellation showed the best.

I did submit my interest. The website is Perchance estates. I already received an email and they are releasing in November.
