Along the banks of Sulphur Springs Creek in St Helena lies the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard - a 22 acre site renowned for its naturally low yields and well-draining gravelly loam soil. These slightly less stressed vines are closer to the riverbed and sit on slightly more rocky and well-draining soil than the ‘La Verdad’ highlighting the vineyard’s unique topography and minerality. Like a smack in the face, 'La BAM', boasts a full rich bold palate of pure black and blue fruits infused with graphite, coffee and earthlike undertones. When matched with sweet firm tannins from the best French barrels, this wine ends with a velvety finish that only gets better with age.
96 Points International Wine ReportThe 2020 ‘La Bam’ from Beckstoffer Las Piedras is a fantastic wine from the vintage. It displays a darker profile, with blueberries, dark currants, graphite, florals, black licorice, loam and crushed gravel all bursting from the glass. This possesses a gorgeous full body that is beautifully structured and balanced. The plush, seamless texture is concentrated with a sweet core of ripe dark and blue fruits, which are framed by dark chocolate and loam nuances which leave a lasting impression on the finish. The La Bam is already very expressive and a pleasure to drink today, however the best is yet to come.
