“The star of the show is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, which comes from unquestionably one of the Grand Cru terroirs located just outside of St. Helena. Incorporating 1% Petit Verdot and aged 22 months in 95% new French oak, this deep, full-bodied, powerful Cabernet has classic Dr. Crane notes of gravelly earth, cold fireplace, tobacco, truffle, and assorted black and blue fruits. Rich, opulent, yet also pure and precise, with present tannins, it will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15+.”
