Wine reviews
Lots of classic darker, herbal notes define the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, a rich, medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. With air, more chocolate, espresso, and spice notes emerge from the glass, and this medium to full-bodied, textured, ripe, yet also elegant 2019 is going to drink brilliantly for another 20 years or so. – JD
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Nomad Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III jumps with baked plums, warm cassis and sautéed herbs, giving way to redcurrant jelly, underbrush and beef drippings suggestions. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers bags of juicy black fruits with a firm, grainy texture and a long, earthy finish. – LPB
Schrader’s GIII is produced from 337 clone grown on the F block. Very deep purple-black colored, the barrel sample of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon GIII Beckstoffer Georges III reveals expressive notes of red roses, fallen leaves, dusty soil and cinnamon stick over a core of warm cassis, kirsch and baked plums, with a subtle waft of eucalyptus. Full-bodied, voluptuously fruited and oh-so-velvety, it has just enough freshness and a long spicy finish. – LPB
A great vintage for this cuvée, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges III offers a blockbuster, full-bodied, majestic style with lots of the classic dark fruits, tobacco, espresso, and chocolate notes this site delivers in spades. – JD
