Description

Aged for 20 months in 100% new oak.

One of Napa's most iconic sites, the 300-acre Georges III parcel of the Beckstoffer Vineyard in Rutherford was first planted in 1895 (replanted in 1988) and sits adjacent to the Caymus Winery.

2021 was an exceptional vintage in Napa Valley with ideal weather conditions leading to optimal ripening for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. We were able to allow the grapes ample hang time for complex flavor development, while keeping sugars at a reasonable level and retaining excellent natural acidity. Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III performed very well in 2021 due to favorable weather conditions and meticulous farming. This is an intense Cabernet Sauvignon with depth and concentration, offering explosive dark fruit aromas. It is a collector’s vintage that will stand out in any cellar.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Notes of plum and boysenberry jump from the glass with highlights of red fruit aromas. The underpinning of this wine are earthy and mocha-like elements which are typical for Georges III and Rutherford in general. Hints of aged tobacco and cedar add another layer to this wonderfully complex wine.
Palate
Refreshing and focused on the palate, the wine showcases deep refined tannins with black fruit flavors and a citrus lift. The wine has terrific mid-palate cling and the finish lingers with a loamy, earthy character reminiscent of Mocha Java coffee.
