Gregory James Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA 2021 Charles Heidsieck doing nothing for the first

doing nothing for the first two weeks of cuvaison and punching down for the following two

completely dry and also therefore medium bodied

with liquid minerality emerging with time in the glass

maybe a touch of vanilla from the oak

oregano and a hint of incense that develops and amplifies as soon as the wine loosens up in your glass

Gregory James Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA 2021 Charles Heidsieck doing nothing for the firstThe vibrant aromas of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon express a medley of red fruit, ripe blackberry, violets, cedar, and baking spices. On the palate, there is a rich interplay of dark fruit and cigar box, with touches of vanilla bean. The dusty tannins are balanced by the lingering acidity and long lasting finish of briar and blackberry. To fully enjoy the flavors and aromas of this wine, decant for 30 minutes.
