Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

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%!

Not all 2011 are created equally!

Rich and expressive wine-mulling spice, candy corn and piney notes. Soft and supple despite its expressiveness on the nose. Pressed blackberries, roasted coconut shavings unraveling into layers of light earth and granite. Impressive, balanced elegance with hints of chocolate describe this inspired finish.

One of my favorite bottles of the 2011 vintage.

This was unexpected surprise at dinner!

Happiness is a Beckstoffer cab. Phenomenal.

After a bit of decanting was silky smooth in the glass

Thank you Caroline for this wonderful birthday gift. Had with family and paired with wagyu beef.

Still developing. Took a while to open up but then it was spectacular!
