Produced by some member of the Beckstoffer clan, which basically everyone will immediately key in to but–despite heavy name-dropping on the rear label–stops far short of indicating any of the fruit originates from said vineyard.  “North Coast” appellation and lacks any sort of taste indication of Rutherford or Oakville fruit.  Showing some colour of age but quite glass-staining.  Steely, used barrel nose blows off to grassy rose-petal fruit and thins out on finish with mellow acids and tannin.  Pretty boring, actually, but not horrible bottle for $22.  ♦
