12C Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer George III 2014
Dense, dark crimson in the glass, this impressive new cab offers up a bouquet of ripe plum, red currant, and hints of caramel and baking chocolate. This majestic effort is oh so easy to enjoy, delivering delightfully fine tannins that support the rich blackberry fruit, dark chocolate, toasted walnuts and baking spices. Decant for an hour if enjoying tonight and savor for another decade.
