This wine is a knockout! We were so stoked on this we actually sent this wine in to be reviewed after we bought it. This is classic Beckstoffer magic, with all the cassis, blackberry and dusty black cherry that make these wines some of the best in the Napa Valley. Veteran winemaker Tom Hinde (Lakoyam Cardinale, Verite, Stonestreet, Flowers!) shows off his skillset in this plush, polished and hedonistic cabernet. To our knowledge, it may be one of the first PNV wines to be professionally reviewed! 96 points from Owen Bargreen who reviews Washington State for Vinous Media. Check out his review below, but know that just 60 bottles were produced of this gem. WOW!

About The Producer

Taub Family Vineyards date back to the early 1930's, when Mary Taub started a career in the wholesale buisness. His son David then joined his father in the family buisness and distributed incredible wines form California and from other regions. Since then, wine has always been the focal point of the family. This wine is in honor of historic Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III which was purchased in 1928 and looked over by the legendary Andre Tchelistcheff. This wine truly embodiesa pure expression of its vineyard with elegance and balance.

Owen Bargreen - owenbargreen.com (critic for Vinous)
Made by Tom Hind, this outstanding 2018 ‘Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from clones 4,7 and 337, sourced from the E block in the vineyard. The palate is plush with very silky tannins that line a core of dark currants alongside black licorice, tobacco leaf and tilled soils. This shows good mid-palate depth and complexity without being overripe. Gorgeous even to consume now, this has another twenty years to go. Drink 2023-2040
