2021 Anthem Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Anthem's tightly coiled, concentrated 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard recalls the site's rocky soils in its hints of crushed stones on the nose, backed by black cherries, sage, cedar and dried spices. It's full-bodied and dense, possesses plenty in reserve for the long haul and boasts a long, tannic finish.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer Las Piedras offers a wonderful combination of fresh ripe fruits accented by savory nuances. It begins with aromas of black cherries, raspberries and back plums, which are woven together with, tobacco, graphite, spices and hints of mocha that all carry on to the palate. This continues to impress with its medium-full body that is beautifully structured with polished tannins resulting in a gorgeous velvety texture. It is all underlined by a lovely layer of acidity that keeps it fresh and inviting through the finish. While this is certainly a pleasure to drink today, it should go on to evolve and offer years of enjoyment ahead.
