"Deep and brilliant violet in the glass coupled with amazing clarity, this wine is a showstopper at first sight. Aromas of huckleberry, slate, currants and distinct Rutherford loam notes flow across the palate ending in a rush of smooth and polished tannins. The mid palate and into the finish this wine gains momentum and precision; loaded with perfectly ripened fruit and powerful yet refined tannins that frame a 30 second finish. Drink this wine in its youth with a short decant or let integrate for 2-5 years and be rewarded with a perfectly aged beauty. One of the most complex and layered versions of Beckstoffer Georges III vineyard I have ever made." - Winery
