Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 | 99 points, Jeb Dunnuck
A big, ripe, opulent 2021, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard boasts a dense plum/purple hue as well as a sensational nose of black raspberries, currants, flowery incense, sweet tobacco, and underbrush. This carries to a full-bodied, deep, incredibly layered Cabernet with velvety tannins, a great mid-palate, no hard edges, and a killer finish. Drink this singular beauty over the coming two decades.
Perennius Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 | 98 points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
There are just 100 cases of the 2021 Perennius, a best-barrel selection by Winemaker Jeff Ames that never amounts to more than four barrels. Bottled just two days prior to our tasting, it was singing, brimming with sophisticated aromas of black cherries, licorice, dried spices and loamy earth. It’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a long, velvety finish. When you consider the single vineyards Ames can choose from, it’s no wonder that this wine is perennially the winery’s top-rated offering.
Wall Road Terrace Syrah
2021 | 97 points, Jeb Dunnuck
The inky-hued 2021 Syrah Wall Road Terrace comes from a site on Mount Veeder and spent 22 months in barrel. It’s an utterly awesome Syrah with loads of ripe black fruits, spring flowers, camphor, bacon fat, and sagebrush all emerging on the nose. This carries a full-bodied, concentrated, opulent Syrah offering ripe tannins, a good sense of freshness, and outstanding length. If given the chance, don’t miss it.
Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 | 96 points, Jeb Dunnuck
This valley floor site continues to deliver the goods. Boich’s 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard reveals a dense purple/plum hue to go with a smorgasbord-like bouquet of ripe black fruits, chocolate, roasted herbs, Asian spices, and camphor. This powerful, full-bodied, concentrated Cabernet has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s going to knock your socks off any time over the coming two decades.
Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 | 95+ points, Jeb Dunnuck
Blackcurrants, ripe tobacco, chocolate, and lead pencil notes, as well as ample Asian spice, all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III, a full-bodied Cabernet that’s concentrated, has plenty of mid-palate depth, building, firm tannins, and a great finish. Hide bottles for 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 20-25 years or more.
Wall Road Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 | 95+ points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Boich’s 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Wall Road Vineyard originates high on Mount Veeder, next to the Tesseron family’s Pym Rae (formerly owned by the late Robin Williams). Typical mountain scents of bay leaf and crushed herbs accent cassis on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is impressively concentrated and tannic, dry and dusty on the lengthy finish. Give it some time in the cellar before pulling a cork.
Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay
2021 | 96 points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Even more exciting than past (excellent) vintages, the 2021 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is a polished golden hue in the glass, with just a bit of cloudiness. Don’t let that turn you off, as the wine is fabulously full-bodied, rich, and texturally honeyed, with a long-lasting finish that highlights the wine’s flavors of ripe pineapple, guava, pear and citrus. Really impressive stuff, this was barrel fermented with indigenous yeasts and bacteria and aged in 60% new French oak. Winemaker Jeff Ames only stirs the barrels when sulfuring them, “to avoid sacrificing longevity.”
