2013 Anthem Napa Cabernet, Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard; This is a fantastic young red wine that is totally enjoyable now but will develop for 15+ years to come I believe. Given only 1 hr. of decant time the wine showed chocolate and sage on the nose with cassis joining on the palate. Tannins were obvious but soft and well balanced. This was one delicious Cabernet and I wish I had 2-3 more cases of it to watch develop over the coming years. 15.4% abv but not "hot" at all or jammy.

Went looking, and was (somewhat) surprised at the sheer number of vineyards owned by Beckstoffer.
