Keating 2012 Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Country: US / Beckstoffer Georges III
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Keating / Rutherford

This wine takes time to come around, but once it does, oak and pencil shavings season an herbal core that’s tight and classic. Black licorice and espresso enter the fray, expanding on the palate’s blackberry and cassis. Cellar through 2020–2022.
