From the "Bounty Hunter" Wine Merchant:
"Integrity, quality, honesty and trust. These are the core values of The Bounty Hunter and the mantra for the Justice trio. With almost 15 vintages crafted expressly for Bounty Hunter, we couldn’t be prouder of the track record of our own flagship brand. They hang with the very best of the Napa Valley. Andy Beckstoffer’s Dr. Crane and To Kalon vineyards are Napa Valley royalty, first recognized for their greatness in the 19th century. They are two of the most purely alluvial vineyard sites in the valley, making them true Napa Valley Grand Crus. It isn’t just hype or fashion that causes wines from these vineyards to receive legions of 100-point scores every year; it’s the fact that these are simply magic vineyard sites, ones that have helped elevate brands like Schrader, Carter Cellars, Paul Hobbs, Realm, and Myriad to superstar status. Our long and enthusiastic partnership with these vineyards dates back almost 15 years, and the track record of our Justice wines now speaks for itself. Justice is served."

2013 Blind Justice 'Beckstoffer To Kalon' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The gorgeous 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Blind Justice from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard spent 18 months in 100% French oak. This is no shy wine at 15.7% alcohol that’s well hidden by the wealth and extravagant levels of fruit extract. Dense ruby/purple with classic licorice and black currant liqueur and blackberry fruit, the wine is full-bodied and opulent with voluptuous texture, beautiful purity and a long finish. It is accessible already and should continue to drink well for 20-25 years.

2013 Frontier Justice '78% Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, 22% Beckstoffer To Kalon' Red Wine Napa Valley
The 2013 Proprietary Red Blend Frontier Justice is a blend of 85.7% Cabernet Franc and 13.3% Cabernet Sauvignon from two Beckstoffer vineyards, Dr. Crane and To Kalon. Beautiful floral and blueberry notes soar from the glass of this Cabernet Franc-dominated wine. Soft tannins, super-intensity, but not a lot of weight or power, the wine is ethereal, elegant, pure and glorious to drink already. It should continue to evolve and drink nicely for another 10-15 years.

2013 Poetic Justice 'Beckstoffer To Kalon' Red Wine Napa Valley 
The 2013 Proprietary Red Blend Poetic Justice is another Cabernet Franc-dominated wine (75.4% and 24.6% Cabernet Sauvignon). Deep, rich and not as evolved as the other two cuvées, but plenty of reserve power, richness and potential. It’s another beauty that needs several years of bottle age and should drink well for 15 or more.
