Note di degustazione
From one of the greatest terroirs in Napa Valley, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard shows the classic power and richness of the vineyard as well as a Bordeaux-like bouquet of cassis, tobacco, damp earth, spice, and spring flowers. Flawless on the palate, with full-bodied richness and building, ultra-fine tannins, it has incredible purity of fruit, no hard edges, and is just pure Napa Valley magic.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is a classic wine from this St. Helena site. Bright and punchy, the 2018 opens with striking aromatic intensity. A rush of inky red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, mint, mocha and sweet spice builds as this mid-weight, racy Cabernet shows off all of its appeal. The 2018 is classy and impeccably balanced from start to finish.
Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard is a little youthfully mute at this stage, requiring a bit of swirling to reveal delicate notes of Morello cherries, crushed blackcurrants and fresh blackberries plus suggestions of rusty nails, Indian spices, unsmoked cigars and cedar. The full-bodied palate delivers stylish, impactful black fruit and exotic spice layers, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on that signature, lingering mineral note. Very classy.
