The 13's are so much more concentrated than the ripe 12's. It's beauty in both worlds. The beauty of Chuck Henrick's wines is you can drink them young or age them. So soft. So lush. So beautiful. So elegant. Ripe and juicy blackberries, dark raspberries, raspberries, strawberries, minerality and earth so elegant it's a shame to classify as earth. You'll want to drink this now. If you do, buy 4-6 bottles and age this rest.

Love Chuck's craft. Soft, round, ripe, lush, blackberries, blueberries, dark chocolate, mocha and dry florals. @ Pebble Beach Food & Wine.

Mag with2 hour decant, great 🥩 wine.
Having a problem with the fruit forward wines nowadays, too sweet.
Most Beckstoffer, all Caymus, Bevan, Maybach and many others. This is not one of those.

Still needs a hefty decant, definitely over delivers for the price.

Rare to get such a great vintage direct from the winery👍🏼
Well worth $95.00
Decant 5-6 hours

The best pizza wine I’ve ever had. Lush, plush, balanced and smooth. Charles Hendricks does it again. 😘 RIP Notorious RBG

Burst of ripe fruits with hint of Tabasco, opens up very quick, taste of chocolate, beautiful wine by itself
