Net pricing - no further discount available.

This will be the first vineyard designate release from the prestigious Beckstoffer Georges III vineyard for Vice Versa.

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford opens with lavish aromatics of mocha, ripe red and black berries, and savory notes of mountain herbs, sage, and gravelly loam, accented by French oak spice. On the palate, it is rich and multifaceted, with layers of stewed black cherry pie, plum, chocolate truffle, and graphite, supported by background notes of blueberry, peony, and exotic spice. The wine’s mid-palate is powerful yet balanced, framed by vibrant acidity and abundant silky tannins that promise longevity. Its finish is long and velvety, with a regal presence that reflects both the historic vineyard site and Vice Versa’s meticulous winemaking.
Food pairings for the 2018 Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon should highlight its bold fruit and structured tannins. Grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or herb-crusted lamb will harmonize beautifully with its dark fruit and savory spice profile. Earth-driven dishes such as mushroom ragout, roasted root vegetables, or truffle pasta emphasize its mineral and herbal nuances, while aged cheeses like Comté or Parmigiano-Reggiano provide a refined counterpoint to its tannic backbone. Its balance of richness and elegance also makes it suitable for pairing with duck breast in cherry reduction or cedar-planked salmon, allowing the wine’s vibrancy to shine without being overshadowed.
