Wine reviews
I continue to love this site, which is giving its neighbor Dr. Crane Vineyard a run for its money these days. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard reveals a ruby/purple hue as well as a brilliant bouquet of black raspberries, cassis, toasted spices, and chalky minerality. I always find a more savory, mineral-driven style from this site, and this beauty has it in spades. Full-bodied on the palate and concentrated, with velvety tannins, drink bottles any time over the coming two decades, if not longer.
I loved the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard, and this beauty has everything – purity, richness, complexity, and elegance. Giving up lots of darker currant and berry-like fruits as well as notes of tobacco, lead pencil, and espresso, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, layered texture, building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from a few years in the cellar but should evolve gracefully for two decades.
