This iconic site located outside of St. Helena always produces a rich, powerful wine, and the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is no exception, offering loads of black and blue fruits, gravelly earth, chocolate, and Asian spice notes as well as a full-bodied, opulent, sexy profile on the palate. With a beautiful sense of freshness, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish, this gorgeous effort needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will cruise for 30 years or more.

The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of ripe blackberries, Morello cherries, blackcurrant pastilles and chocolate box with hints of camphor, lilacs and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is intense with bags of tension and energetic black and red fruits, supported by ripe grainy tannins, finishing long and mineral laced.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Becksto!er Dr. Crane Vineyard Elysian is a showstopper. Even better from bottle than it was from barrel, the 2018 is a drop- dead gorgeous beauty. Inky, creamy and so alluring, the 2018 hits all the right notes. Raspberry jam, spice, pomegranate, sweet French oak and mocha envelop the palate from start to finish. The 2018 Dr. Crane Elysian is one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Mike and Leah Smith. Don't miss it!

Enticing, with a core of cassis, plum and blackberry puree that shows nice focus while anise, briar and sweet spice notes fill in, followed by a solidly grippy finish. Needs a touch of cellaring to settle in fully. Best from 2022 through 2032. 350 cases made.
