2021 Krutz Cabernet Sauvignon 'Beckstoffer Georges III', Napa Valley
Tasting Notes
The 2021 vintage was a welcome return to “normalcy” after a challenging 2020 vintage. Our Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep purple and full-bodied wine with concentrated notes of dark fruit, cocoa powder, and hints of graphite. A young and robust tannin structure frames this wine to a rich and lingering finish.Vineyard Notes
