Wine reviews

December 2025

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard is a big, ripe, sexy beast of a wine offering blackcurrants, blueberries, scorched earth, graphite, and freshly sharpened pencil. Aged 26 months in 100% new French oak, it's full-bodied, rich, unctuous, and powerful, with sweet tannins and a big finish. If you love monster Napa Cabernet, this beauty is for you. It should have 15-20 years of longevity.
