Wine reviews
There are a tiny 225 cases of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, a borderline perfect wine from Smith that reveals a deep purple hue as well as incredible red, blue, and black fruits that give way to cigar tobacco, iron, and graphite nuances with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, insanely elegant, with perfect balance and a great mid-palate, this is a smoking bottle of wine that readers should jump on. It should live for 30-40 years if well stored.
A blockbuster of a wine, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard sports a dense purple hue as well as a mammoth-sized personality. Dark fruits, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and bouquet garni all emerge on the nose, and it's full-bodied, with a thrilling mid-palate and awesome tannins. This is riveting stuff, and I suspect it will be drinkable with just a few years of bottle age.
