2018 Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard...$274.99The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard comes from a world-class site outside of St. Helena and is all Cabernet that spent 20 months in 80% new oak. It offers a touch more red fruit as well ample cassis, spring flowers, loamy earth, and spice-like aromas and flavors. It has a wonderful sense of minerality, ultra-fine tannins, a dense, layered texture, and incredibly purity of fruit. It’s another just about off the charts release from this estate.

Deep, full-bodied, and incredibly layered, it’s one of the richer, more powerful wines in the lineup. Drink it over the coming 2 decades.
