A tribute to the year the Beckstoffer family arrived in Napa Valley, the 75 Wine Co. Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in Mendocino and Lake Counties. As a teenager, Tuck worked side-by-side with the vineyard crews and learned the way of the vines. This was a formative experience that eventually fueled Tuck’s desire to learn more about the winemaking process. As an adult he traveled to study with fellow craftsmen at legendary wineries both at home and abroad.
The Tuck Beckstoffer brand was founded in 1997—a culmination of a life of farming and an unquenchable thirst for great wine. Today, the wines tell their story through the vines. Tuck is a farmer first and seeks out vineyards to express his distinct style. This Cabernet is filled with aromas of fresh cherry and cinnamon. On the palate, it’s silky smooth with notes of strawberry and blackberry, culminating in a long, lingering finish with just a hint of dark chocolate from a year spent aging on French oak.
