Wine reviews

March 2026

Sourced from Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard, this Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Block B, where the vines are roughly 25 years old. In 2023, the wine was aged for 28 months in 100% new French oak, open-top barrel fermented, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Fragrant aromatics of dark chocolate, espresso bean, black fruits and loamy earth rise from the glass. Velvety tannins frame this full-bodied wine and its unctuous dark berry fruit, layered with sweet Asian spices. There is plenty of power here, delivered with impressive seamlessness in this vintage.
