2010 was the coolest vintage on record in Rutherford, where the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard is located. The fruit had nice and long hang time that allowed for the development of juicy ripe flavors and bold structure. This wine possesses gorgeous red and dark fruit aromas that lead to flavors of dark cherry, earth and mouth-watering chocolate. The resulting wine is as balanced as the Olympic Fab Five during the all around competition and equally as impressive. Enjoy now or sock it away and enjoy during the next Summer Olympics. Only 150 cases produced!

Oakville Ranch Vineyard
Oakville, Napa Valley
At 1,000 to 1,400 feet above sea level, the Oakville Ranch Vineyard looks west over Napa Valley. This high elevation and western exposure, in combination with soils of clay over volcanic rock, produce the rich, powerfully structured wines that make the vineyard one of the most sought-after in California for Cabernet Sauvignon.
