Tasting notes
Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard comes barreling out of the glass with energetic scents of blackcurrant jelly, black cherry preserves and boysenberries, plus suggestions of licorice, crushed rocks, bay leaves and eucalyptus oil. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with juicy black berry flavors, supported by finely grained tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long with invigorating mineral and mint sparks.

There are 12 barrels of the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in 90% new French oak. Dense purple/blue-colored, it has an extraordinary bouquet of crème de cassis, black raspberries, crushed flowers, candied violets, and loamy, rocky earth-like nuances. Massively textured, full-bodied, opulent, and seamless on the palate, this monster of a wine is just about pure perfection in a glass.
