2003 Amber Knolls Beckstoffer Cabernet Sauvignon
This is our second vintage of this wine and we are quite pleased with the results. This new venture of Andy Beckstoffer—in Lake County—was selected for its similarity to the best Cabernet growing sites in Napa Valley. At 2000 feet of elevation with volcanic soil heavily laden with obsidian, it is an exceptional site.
Predominately Cabernet Sauvignon, the addition of small amounts of Cab Franc and Malbec give this wine added depth and character. Black cherry, black currant, and earth dominate this dark flavored Cab. Light oak on the nose, dark chocolate, dusty and bittersweet.
For drinking now, decant this wine for an hour or more. Balanced, well structured with acidity and tannins to insure that -with proper cellaring- this wine will continue to improve for five to eight years.
