2017 Anthem Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vyd. Napa Valley

WA94 Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard is a little youthfully mute to begin, soon unfurling to offer pronounced notes of baked black plums, Black Forest cake and crème de cassis with hints of incense, dusty soil and Indian spice with a waft of fruitcake. Big, rich and hedonic in the full-bodied mouth, it has velvety tannins and appealing freshness lifting the spicy black fruit preserves, finishing long and fragrant.
