Parker - Wine Advocate Robert M. Parker, Jr. (94 Punkte)
This is a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the Beckstoffer-owned vineyards. This blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Petite Sirah offers delicious blackberry and cassis fruit, floral notes and a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel with terrific purity, texture and length. Like most 2014s, it is open for business and should continue to drink well for at least 10-15 years.

Pure and supple, with a delicate weight and mouthfeel to the dark berry, gravel and spicy earth notes. Ends clean and refreshing, maintaining a graceful style. Drink now through 2028. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 400 cases made.

The 2014 Kata Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard is every bit as compelling as it was last year from barrel. A wine of striking freshness, energy and intensity, the 2014 exhibits notable freshness in its bright red cherry, plum, rose petal and mint overtones. Floral notes take on greater prominence as the wine continues to flesh out in the glass. The 2014 has really come on strong. Today, it gives the impression it could one day surpass the 2013.
