Buy Now | Read Reviews | Tasting Notes

This parcel, located in the heart of the Rutherford Bench, was first planted to vines in 1933 by the legendary Georges de Latour III. During the following decades it was the source for BV's Reserves until it was purchased by the Beckstoffer family in 1988. The rich history and pedigree of this site continues as it produces rare lots of Cabernet Sauvignon for some of Napa Valley's finest wineries, including Delectus.

2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Beckstoffer Vineyard, Georges III

Tasting Notes
Instant aromas of fresh cut jicama give way to less exotic plum and cassis. Bright on the palate, driven by black olive and dust, good length, solid tannin structure, and spicy aftertaste. (GR, updated 01/05)

Past Reviews & Accolades

1999 Cabernet Sauvignon, Beckstoffer Vineyard, Georges III
93 Pts - Specs
"This is a lively flavorful Claret-style Cab showing ample ripe dark berry, black cherry, grapey fruit along with notes of pepper and spice, chocolate-earth, cedar and tobacco. Medium weight texture and juice-chewy-dry but the feel is rich. Really fills the mouth but is not at all heavy. Very elegant in style. Really lasts. Excellent." (October 2002)
