2018 Realm Cellars, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, St. Helena, Bottle (750ml)

RP 100 "Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard displays an opaque purple-black color. It saunters confidently out of the glass with compelling notes of warm black plums, blackcurrant cordial, Morello cherries and black raspberries followed by an opulent perfume of exotic spices, dusty soil, rose oil and crushed rocks with a waft of sandalwood. Full-bodied, rich, seductive and so, so spicy, the palate possesses a multitude of savory, earth and preserved fruit layers, framed by an achingly beautiful velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing long, long, long?truly showing off its latent power. Like a gorgeous intellectual, this is a wine that will absolutely turn heads and create a stir." (October 2020)
