“Already expressive with youthful precision, this wine promises to develop beautifully…” – IWR

Oh, and it did. With TRIPLE 94s. THE Beckstoffer Vineyard. $80 subtracted from the price.

Strong start to ward off any cases of the “Mondays” around here.

A historical Beckstoffer Heritage Vineyard, Georges III was first planted in 1895, purchased by Beaulieu Founder Georges de Latour in 1928. And today it remains one of the most hallowed sites in Napa, and the source of power behind many heavy hitter Cabs.

Consider for a moment the pricing on a few others:

$400+ from Schrader

$325 from B. Cellars

$225 from Adobe Road

And the list goes on like that. It’s all but impossible to find one for under $100. Except here, today, before your eyes at ALMOST HALF OFF retail price.

For those who don’t know Sojourn (yes, there still are some out there), Director of Winemaking Erich Bradley got his start at Arrowood and went on to make wine for Hop Kiln and Audelssa. He credits both Dick Arrowood and David Ramey as his mentors. His right hand and GM Randy Bennett cut his teeth working with Thomas Brown and Mike Smith in the caves of Nicholson Ranch where they make Schrader Cellars, Rivers-Marie, Myriad Cellars, Tamber Bey, and (of course) Nicholson Ranch.

Their Cabernet Sauvignons are known for their complexity and age-ability. And this is JUST a young pup starting a long, happy life. Young, but so open and bursting with deep dark broody fruit, silky smooth tannins and a finish that literally forever in your mind. Black plum, dark red raspberries, cinnamon, cassis, lush coco. This is a wow wine now and will only get better with age.

Never seen discounted, a legendary site by a highly acclaimed winery, with a stack of 94 points?!

There are only so many bottles so don’t wait! You won’t see this price again!

94 Points – Wine Advocate “All Clone 337, Sojourn’s 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III is a moderately concentrated, balanced effort. Scents of red and black cherries appear on the nose, joined by hints of cinnamon, cedar and dusty earth. In the mouth, it’s medium to full-bodied, showing a certain amount of restraint and structure without being hard or tough, then finishing with some softly dusty tannins. 400 cases produced. Drink 2025-2040.”

94 Points – International Wine Report “Radiating a luminous ruby-purple core edged with a vivid magenta hue, The 2022 Beckstoffer Vineyard George III Cabernet Sauvignon captivates from the first glance. The bouquet brims with luscious black currants, cocoa-dusted herbs, graphite shavings, and delicate violets. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it unveils a seamless texture with concentrated flavors, supported by finely woven tannins and a polished structure. Notes of cedar and crushed berries add depth, while its vibrant energy speaks to the vintage’s character. Already expressive with youthful precision, this wine promises to develop beautifully over the next decade and beyond. Drink 2025-2040”

94 Points – Owen Bargreen “The really good 2022 Sojourn Cellars ‘Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III’ Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from this famed Napa site first planted in 1895 by Mrs. Thomas Rutherford. It comes off deeply perfumed, evoking pencil lead and sandalwood tones on the nose alongside allspice dusted black fruits and tar accents. The palate is plush and refined with a silky texture and generous mouthfeel. Gorgeous now, enjoy over the next ten to fifteen years. Drink 2024-2036.”
