2023 Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of blackcurrant, crushed violet, and iron-rich earth — the unmistakable signature of Rutherford Bench. Dark cherry and cassis lead the palate, layered with cocoa powder, cedar, and a whisper of tobacco leaf. Tannins are polished but purposeful, building through the mid-palate into a long, mineral finish dusted with graphite and dried flowers. This is Rutherford at its most classical — power and freshness in rare balance, with many years of life ahead.
