The vibrant aromas of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon express a medley of red fruit, ripe blackberry, violets, cedar, and baking spices. On the palate, there is a rich interplay of dark fruit and cigar box, with touches of vanilla bean. The dusty tannins are balanced by the lingering acidity and long lasting finish of briar and blackberry. To fully enjoy the flavors and aromas of this wine, decant for 30-minutes.
As soon as the hand-harvest grapes arrive at the winery, they are carefully inspected one last time before being destemmed and placed into a stainless steel, open-top fermenter. The juice is inoculated with a carefully selected Bordeaux yeast strain that highlights the true expression of these renowned Cabernet grapes. After combing the free-run and gently pressed juice the wine is racked via gravity flow into 100% new French oak barrels – specifically selected to showcase terroir – and aged for 18 months.
The iconic Georges III Vineyard was named by renown grower, Andy Beckstoffer, when he acquired the property in 1988. This heritage vineyard was first planted in 1895 by Mr. Thomas Rutherford and later owned by the Georges de Latour family, founders of Beaulieu Vineyards. This vineyard has been key to establishing the Napa Valley as one of the most respected appellations in the world of wine.
