The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III is terrific and up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. All Cabernet aged in new barrels, it has a beautiful array of darker currants, chocolate, truffly earth, and tobacco leaf on the nose. This carries to a quintessential, full-bodied, ripe, yet classically built Cabernet with ripe tannins and a great finish.
Cooperage: 22 Months French Oak, Taransaud and Darnajou.
Winemaker Jeff Ames
- Jeff began working with Thomas River Brown in 2001 for projects including Schrader, Maybach, Outpost and TOR. As a young winemaker from Memphis, he had no idea just how fortunate he was to land where he did. As either lead or assistant winemaker, Jeff has his fingerprints on twenty 100-Point, perfect wines—quite an accomplishment for his short time in the valley. At Boich Family Cellar, Jeff has delivered multiple 98-point and 99-point wines, waiting patiently for his first perfect score. And it will likely be Perennius.
Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III – Located on the legendary Rutherford bench, this 300-acre site was once home to BV’s Georges de Latour Private Reserve made by renowned winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff. Planted with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, wines from this historic vineyard have long received wide acclaim. Boich Family Cellar is proud to continue the legacy of crafting world-class wines from this esteemed site.
Rutherford AVA – Rutherford is home to some of the most prominent wineries and vineyards. Lying low on the valley floor, this region is composed of well-drained gravel, loam and sand, all of which contribute to the area’s distinguished “Rutherford Dust” terroir. Rutherford Cabernets display great elegance, full-bodied flavor and dusty tannins.
