"The 2022 Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Vice Versa opens with a complex bouquet of ripe blueberries, blackcurrants, and black cherries, layered with violets and earthy pipe tobacco savory herbs and exotic spices bring additional nuance, while undertones of espresso, graphite, and crushed gravel add depth and a distinct minerality character. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and polished, showcasing a ripe, sweet core within a dense and concentrated structure. The gorgeous underlying acidity imparts freshness, enhancing its layered complexity. The finish is impressively long, leaving traces of dark fruit, coffee, and subtle mineral notes that linger gracefully. An absolutely brilliant wine that is stunning now and will continue to deliver for many years to come."
