Schrader Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 6x750ml Case

Sourced from the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford, this wine is produced from 100% Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes originated from a specific section of the vineyard that was formerly part of the Napa River riverbed. This section benefits from an abundance of minerals and rocks left behind that makes it distinct from the surrounding terroir. Medium- to full-bodied and approachable in its youth, this wine features notes of sweet tobacco, spearmint, and ripe red fruit with opulent and soft, rounded tannins.

98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

Lots of classic darker, herbal notes define the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, a rich, medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. With air, more chocolate, espresso, and spice notes emerge from the glass, and this medium to full-bodied, textured, ripe, yet also elegant 2019 is going to drink brilliantly for another 20 years or so. Best After 2021

96 Points - James Suckling

Classy nose, with lots of sandalwood and cedar on top of a racy profile of black and blue fruit. Some baked-fruit notes, too. This is really precise and fresh on the palate, with tannins that really melt into the fruit. As light as feather. Just bordering medium to full body. There is excellent fluidity on the palate.

94 Points - Wine Spectator

A rock-solid Cabernet, with cassis and dark plum stitched together with dusty earth and iron notes, all set into an alder and savory frame. Grippy back end, but the fruit keeps pace and there's a buried violet note for purity. Best from 2023
