The Winery

Kata

Kata is the first winemaking venture from David Beckstoffer, the eldest son of grape grower Andy Beckstoffer. Raised in the Napa Valley, David developed a connection to land and the ability to read a vineyard’s potential. Today, as the President of Beckstoffer Vineyards, David administrates some of the most sought-after vineyards. Production of Kata remains very limited and most wines are only offered to the subscribers on the mailing list. Benchmark is here to help you get your hands on these coveted bottles!

This is a fascinating red with so much high-toned blackberry, blueberry and stone. Asphalt and tar. Lavender and violets. Full-bodied yet agile and lively. It's seamless and formed. Incredible depth and refinement, yet posture. Cabernet sauvignon and…
WA95
A new entry, this wine emerges from a Beckstoffer-owned vineyard right next to his more famous Dr. Crane Vineyard in St. Helena. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Petite Sirah, the wine has a dense purple color and a big, sweet kiss of pen ink and graphite as well as blueberry and blackberry fruit. Sweet tannins, an opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, super-duper purity and a multi-layered finish of close to 45 seconds make for a terrific Cabernet Sauvignon from this great vintage. Drink it over the next 20+ years.
