RATINGS

97-99The Wine Advocate

...vibrant scents of freshly crushed black cherries, warm plums and blueberry compote leading to notes of cassis, chocolate box, star anise and tapenade. The densely laden, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with black and blue fruit preserves and lots of exotic spice nuances, supported by velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with fantastic length and that signature minerally kick. Impressive.

97James Suckling

Blackberries, hazelnuts, blackcurrants and flowers. Crushed stones, too. Full-bodied with firm, polished tannins that give a lovely, creamy texture... Hints of citrus, too. Ethereal and weightless. Beautiful...

96Vinous / IWC

...terrific fruit presence and tons of raciness. Sweet red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender, mint and sweet spice give this effusive, silky Cabernet tons of immediacy and charm.

Located in the city of St. Helena, the 25-acre vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Beckstoffer Vineyards owns and farms more than 3,600 acres of highly prestigious grape growing vineyards in Napa Valley, Mendocino County and the Red Hills of Lake County. A senior executive with Heublein in the 1960s, Andy Beckstoffer is credited with steering Napa Valley vintners towards improving farming and the quality of the grapes used for wine.
