2005 Beckstoffer Vineyards, Georges III

Sourced from Beckstoffer Vineyards, our 2005 Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional representation of the Rutherford terrior. This wine has a deep, concentrated violet-purple color and wonderful, floral bouquet. Clone 6 cabernet fruit saturates the palate with nuances of rich plum, a hint of sour cherry and toasty French oak. A long and luxurious finish adds to the lovely, velvety mouth feel. This wine was aged for 21 months on 40% new French Oak barrels.
