Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1509

Drinking very well right now (2024). Critics said to drink up but I found it still having strong fruit balancing the dirt. Reminded me of some lovely aged Bordeaux I've had in the past. I'd enjoy now or over the next few years if you're lucky enough to have any bottles. Cheers! — 2 months ago

Pretty nose of rose and violets, soft blue and red fruits, touch of cocoa, hint of fresh herbs, velvet in the mouth, smooth and lively grippy tannins that makes you want to go back for more, black rock and soil. — 4 months ago

Hermann J. Wiemer

Magdalena Vineyard Riesling 2020

BAM goes the nose. Full of banana, minerality, slight petrol, mango, grass, and more. Palate isn’t quite as full. That plus medium minus acidity drops the score a little lower than other Wiemer rieslings. — a month ago

Excellent nose. Very balanced and smooth. Thoroughly enjoyed to top off the tasting experience in the cave tasting room at Jarvis Estates. — 4 months ago

The Crane Assembly

Disciples Old Vine Zinfandel Petite Sirah 2020

Such a good wine for the price. It's a "crowd pleaser" but hey, what's wrong with that? You get some oak, some texture, jammy fruit, good acidity, long finish. You definitely get your money's worth here. — 2 years ago

Elysian Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The last time I had this was at The French Laundry trying to convince someone to support a nonprofit I love. The subsequent gift was generous but, somehow, underwhelming. This wine is like that. A great vintage, a great vineyard, in great hands, but it had so much more potential. I’m not whining about a 97-point wine; I’m lucky to enjoy it. But it could’ve been even more. — 2 months ago

Big & bold. Ripe dark fruit, spice, etc…Evolved yet still developing. Really loved the complex tertiary flavors starting to appear. One complaint: WHOPPING 14.7%! — 3 months ago

Rippon Vineyard

Lake Wanaka Mature Vine Riesling 2020

Lime zest, coriander, tangerine, minerals, hints of honey, petrol, and dairy cream. Wonderful finish that reminds me of peaches and cream, really elevating what's a more subtle nose. — 4 months ago
