A mix of clones and brought up in 80% new French oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard is straight-up gorgeous, with a deep, dense, concentrated style reminiscent of a great vintage of Léoville-Las-Cases. Blackcurrants, lead pencil shavings, chocolate, tobacco leaf, and ample earthy minerality all give way to a powerful, full-bodied 2016 that has plenty of density, ripe tannins, and a big finish. It's tight and closed at present yet has awesome potential, so the cellar is going to be your friend. There are 175 cases produced.
