2018 Anthem ‘Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon

2018 Anthem ‘Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a wonderful aromatic profile consisting of dark cherries, blackberries and dark currants which are woven together with dark chocolate shavings, herbs, spices, tilled-soil and hints of tobacco. On the palate this is just as impressive, boasting a full-bodied texture that is layered and well-structured with big velvety tannins. It goes on to impress as it displays outstanding depth and complexity all the way through the long finish. While this is excellent today, it will certainly go on to provide drinking pleasure for many years to come.” 95 points – International Wine Report

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe. Inherently high in tannins and acidity, the best bottlings of Cabernet can age beautifully for decades.

Anthem Winery: Jeff Ames was born in Germany, but had a thoroughly Southern upbringing, spending
most of his childhood in Memphis, and moving to Mobile, Alabama to attend high school. After high school, Jeff went to the University of Alabama, receiving a B.A. in History, with the idea of eventually attaining his law degree. But it quickly became clear to Jeff that law was not his calling. While working on his Masters in Education at the University of Memphis, Jeff took a job at a small wine shop to earn extra money. Wine
immediately captivated him, and he began applying for harvest positions in wineries all over Oregon and California.

Jeff came to the Napa Valley in 1999, and began learning every aspect of the wineindustry from sales to writing, while doing freelance work for Decanter Magazine. In 2001, Jeff was able to return to what he loved the most, winemaking, when he began working as assistant winemaker under Thomas Brown on projects including Schrader, Maybach, Outpost, and Tor. In 2003, he took over as head winemaker for Tor, where he
continues to make critically acclaimed wines from some of California’s most notable vineyards.
