Description

The Taub family's roots in the California wine business date back to the days following Prohibition. We honor that heritage with this unique wine from the historic Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III. This 300-acre parcel, first purchased by Beaulieu Vineyards founder Georges de Latour in 1928 and called Beaulieu Vineyard Number 3, was home to BV's Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignons made by the renowned winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff. This was purchased by Beckstoffer Vineyards in 1988 and today the grapes are grown using sustainable practices. Crafted by winemaker Tom Hinde, this 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged 24 months in 100 percent new French oak resulting in a highly complex wine with firm structure.

"One of the most compelling elements about Napa Valley is the incredible range of wines that result from its microclimates, sites and array of vintner philosophies. Like our country at large, the beauty of Napa Valley is in its diversity, and it’s thrilling to share our expressions of this extraordinary terroir.” - Marc D. Taub
