This expression of pure Cabernet is youthful and sweet. Built to develop with time, this wine has blueberries, blackberries and cherries as baked into a rich pie. It's aromatic with notes of vanilla, anise and clove. A floral touch of fresh black pepper adds aromatic diversity. It's inky yet well balanced and long. Slight dusty character and subtle notes of black tea are reminiscent of California's cabernet growing legacy of which this historical vineyard is a cornerstone.
Critical Acclaim: Wine Advocate (98 Points)
"Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot (co-fermented) and aged for 20 months in 85% new French oak, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard delivers a super intense nose of crushed blackcurrant, blackberries, kirsch and black cherries with hints of menthol, violets, chocolate box, iron ore and fragrant earth. Full, firm and grainy, the palate gives layer upon layer of earth and mineral flavors and finishes very long and earthy."
