Wine Description
In the glass, floral notes of lilies and cassis blend with earth notes of cool graphite. The palate beckons with a subtle minerality that is felt among layers of dimension. A classic, cacao-dusted finish reveals this vintage’s erudite nature.

JD –
All varietal, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Amulet Beckstoffer Georges III has a perfumed, floral character as well as lots of blue fruits (cassis and blueberries) intermixed with lots of tobacco, damp earth, leafy herbs, and chocolate. With plenty of classic Cabernet herbal, bell pepper, and pyrazine nuances (I wouldn’t call it green, but we’re getting close), it’s full-bodied, has a rounded mouthfeel, and enough tannins to warrant 2-4 years of bottle age. It should keep for 15-20 years.

A soft, juicy red with berry, cherry, crushed stone and some walnut undertones. Medium to full body and a flavorful finish. Drink after 2022.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard is gracious, elegant and wonderfully expressive. Sweet dark cherry, spice, leather, tobacco, menthol and licorice open effortlessly in the glass. This is an especially refined Cabernet from a site that tends to show more brawn and rusticity. Impressive.
