95-97 JD. "Moving to the barrel samples, winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown commented that how an estate handled the Labor Day heat wave was more important than the fires, and I can certainly say they’ve succeeded admirably. Starting with the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon GIII Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, it offers a full-bodied, ripe, sweetly fruited, even flamboyant style as well as loads of spice-laced red and blue fruits, incense, and subtle floral notes. It’s balanced, with fine tannins and a great finish." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Jan 2019 |
