Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Second bottle of my ‘13s. This bottle much better than the first. Loaded with ripe blueberry and black raspberry. Great structure, minerality, plush silky mouthfeel. Nice long finish. In its prime. — 4 months ago

Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

A taut puzzle to start. Better once decanted and given 30-45 minutes to open. Once through that rectification (it was yesterday’s word of the day) this baby was quite the ride. Beautifully fragrant and inviting. Not deeply dark in color but still richly deep purple. The fruit is layered and comes in waves. Dark fruit, blueberries lingering finish. I expected this to be a very good CA Cab. I was wrong this was special. Lots of resonating impulses here. Loved this. It was great. — 5 months ago

Veraison Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

A big, fat, heavy, tannic Cabernet Sauvignon wearing boxing gloves and sporting a championship belt. Incredibly full but well balanced; vanilla, lighter spice, and maybe tobacco... even leaving a hint of sweeter cherry at the end. Happy spring! — 3 months ago

@Doug Powers I purchased a case of that for $32 a bottle direct from Australia. The first 5-6 years they drank exactly as you described. I thought time would help them calm down so I stashed them away and they all went downhill. Happy your bottles turned out well.

Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Dark ruby colored. Slightly muted nose, bright fresh fruit. Black and blue fruit up front, chocolate, tobacco, but of red cherry, minerality, quite complex, tannins tight at the open, needs a nice decant at this point. Bright, crisp, silky mouthfeel. Long finish. Some of my favorite wines are from Dr. Crane, and this is another one. — 5 months ago
