The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard comes from clearly one of the Grand Cru sites in the Valley and, as always, is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in new barrels. Its deep purple hue is followed by rocking aromatics of crème de cassis, graphite, scorched earth, and violets. This carries to a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that's concentrated, just about flawlessly balanced, has fine tannins, and a gorgeous finish.
