Wine Review: The 2017 “G3 Reserve” version of 12c Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of ripe blueberries interlaced candied lavender and hints of dark cocoa powder. A briary fruit core is surrounded by powerful dark spices, along with a dense and plush mid-palate that is framed by a buttress of fine tannin. Notes of cardamom, creme de cassis, black currants seamlessly stream throughout. Aged in 100% new French oak this wine is deeply voluptuous, opulently textured and seals the deal with a grand slam sailing finish. Enjoy this wine over the next 3-10 years. Enjoy - KWGTP
