The 2019 Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolute masterpiece from Brilliant Mistake, that showcases the iconic characteristics this acclaimed vineyard is known for. This makes a profound first impression that instantly stops you in your tracks, as it offers incredibly perfumed aromas of blackberries, cassis, blueberries, lead pencil shavings, roasted coffee, scorched earth, dried savory herbs and exotic spices that are nearly impossible to resist. On the palate this is just as impressive, displaying a stunning combination of elegance and power, as it offers a gorgeous full-bodied texture that is utterly seamless. It is beautifully structured with fine dusty tannins that frame its ripe core, which is laced with dark currants, graphite dust and roasted coffee flavors that push through effortlessly on to the long sleek finish that brings it to a perfect ending. Today this is already showing remarkably well and a pleasure to approach, however it should also go on to offer a drinking window that spans decades. Simply put, 2019 G3 is an absolute showstopper of a wine from Brilliant Mistake that should not be missed.
