2021
Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon

97 points | Jeb Dunnuck, December 2023

“Gorgeous red and black fruits, graphite, baking spices, and chocolate give way to a medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure, seamless, finesse driven Cabernet Sauvignon. This brilliant wine will… have two decades or more of prime drinking.”

96 points | Decanter, Jonathan Cristaldi, May 2024

“Full-bodied with silky tannins, blackberry fruit, blueberry compote, and wonderfully rich mocha spices that thread a sweet line interrupted by savoury notes of salty minerals on the long finish.”

Tasting Notes

The signature profile of this famed heritage vineyard includes powerful black fruit notes that rest on a backbone of minerality. The nose offers up notes of dark chocolate, and baking spice, while the dense, lush, dark-fruited palate seamlessly integrates silky tannins for a long, generous finish.

Winemaking Notes

In 2021, an early bud break, a long hang time, naturally small berries and lower than average yields produced intense, concentrated flavors that married seamlessly with the minerality characteristic of Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard.
