2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer "Dr. Crane Vineyard"

“A perfect wine, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard comes from an incredible site just outside of St. Helena that excelled in 2023. Aged 22 months in 70% new French oak, it delivers a truly special bouquet of cassis, scorched earth, Asian spices, and graphite. Full-bodied and incredibly concentrated, it has ripe, building tannins and massive mid-palate depth, yet it carries its power with striking precision and balance. This is a sensational 2023 with thrilling intensity and a seamless elegance that just keeps you coming back to the glass. Give it 4–5 years in the cellar and expect two decades of longevity.
Drink 2029–2049.”

2025 Sauvignon Blanc

"The 2025 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc pours like liquid gold and immediately fills the glass with a fully aromatic, perfumey burst of white flowers and bright citrus. Very expressive on the nose and palate, it layers lemon curd, sweet orange, and grapefruit with ripe nectarine, all carried by a fresh, lemonade-like snap that feels effortlessly pool-friendly. A saline streak and wet rock minerality keep things crisp and refreshing and reminiscent of a sunny hike on a back-country trail. Just beneath the citrus glow, a touch of graham cracker brings a gentle, savory warmth to the finish, making this a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc that’s as welcome as a ray of sun on a dark day."

2023 Cabernet Sauvignon "Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard"

"Crème de cassis, lead pencil, graphite, spice, and floral notes all emerge from the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, which comes from two parcels in To Kalon and spent 22 months in 85% new French oak. Made by Jennifer Williams, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied, deep, and layered, with a seamless profile, stunning mid-palate depth, and extraordinary length. It is a virtually perfect wine that already delivers incredible purity and richness yet has the structure to evolve gracefully for at least two decades. Drink 2030-2055."

2023 Cabernet Sauvignon "Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard"

"Boasting a saturated purple hue, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard reveals notes of blackcurrants, spicy oak, chocolate, and violet nuances, with some Pauillac-like lead pencil and minerality. Aged 22 months in 60% new French oak, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and incredibly concentrated, has ripe, polished tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. I love it today, but it deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will cruise in cold cellars over the following 25 years. Drink 2029-2054."

2023 Red Wine "Right Bank Blend"

"Cabernet Franc-dominated and all from the estate in Coombsville, the 2023 Right Bank Blend was aged 22 months in 55% new French oak and shows darker cherries, redcurrants, tobacco, and smoky, herbal, floral notes. Based on 70% Cabernet Franc, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 13% Merlot, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It's a complex, nuanced, incredibly satisfying effort to drink over the coming 15 years or so. Drink 2025-2040."

2023 Cabernet Sauvignon "Black Label"

"Generous and expressive aromas of dark fruit, licorice, spices, wet earth and dried herbs. The palate is luscious and rounded, with fine tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a fruit-driven, savory finish. This offers immediate drinking pleasure with plenty of aging potential. Drink or hold."
