Purlieu
Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
One of the most complex and approachable 14 ‘s I have had. Blackout in the glass. Nose of camphor and molasses. Smooth, dark and complex. Silky tannins supporting pencil lead, crushed black fruits and underbrush. Balanced across the entire palate. Finish that sails on...

Beckstoffer shoot out,
Lede was more reminiscent of a Schrader, needs time & a big decant which we didn’t do, 96 more of a steak wine whereas the Purlieu can be enjoyed with or without food.
Both Parker 99’s

Ok back in business,
Parker 99 & it shows.
2014- 16 are all rated 98-100. Every Purlieu I’ve had have been great, except Le Pich their bottom end bottle

Definitely a 2nd day wine, BTK Vineyard distinction doesn't show on day 1, its young but had to try one early as usual

JL Purlieu tasting 6/16/17. ABV 15.5%. Oakville. $160. #6. nose that's like others but with a hint of gaminess and balanced by fruit and sweetness. Palate that's very fruit forward and dark chocolate and very velvety and silky with kind balanced complex finish. Quite delicious. This is best of the bunch especially how it's relatively priced to the others.
