Description
From the historic Beckstoffer Georges III heritage vineyard, this 300-acre parcel - first purchased by Beaulieu founder Georges de Latour in 1928 and called Beaulieu Vineyard Number 3 - was the home to BV’s Rutherford Cabernets made by the renowned winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff. Purchased by Beckstoffer Vineyards in 1988, the vineyard has since been replanted using new Cabernet Sauvignon clones with tighter spacing and advanced trellising systems, enhancing both quality and grape tonnage. The grapes are produced using 100 percent sustainable practices. Crafted by winemaker Tom Hinde, this 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged 24 months in 100 percent new French oak resulting in a highly complex wine with black cherry, vanilla, sage, roasted notes with fine-grained tannins and firm structure. Heritance is the cornerstone Napa Valley brand of the Taub Family Vineyards. The name Heritance is fittingly derived from a combination of "heritage and "inheritance," signifying the start of a new tradition and the continuation of an enduring legacy.
