Tasting notes
There are two releases from this remarkable site just outside St. Helena. Looking first at the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, this stunning wine gives up a monster bouquet of currants and cassis-like fruits as well as leafy herbs, tobacco, chocolate, and spice. Beautifully full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, polished tannins, impeccable balance, no hard edges, and that rare mix of power and elegance.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it erupts from the glass with a firework display of iron ore, lilacs, star anise and sandalwood scents, over a core of blackcurrant jelly, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries, plus a touch of tree bark. Full-bodied, firm and beautifully, seamlessly knit, it delivers layer upon layer of earth and black fruits, finishing very long and fragrant.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is a racy, sumptuous wine loaded with all of the charm that makes wines from this St. Helena vineyard so appealing. Crushed rocks, mint, red-toned fruit and blood orange infuse the 2019 with striking depth and tons of allure. Silky, perfumed and inviting, the Dr. Crane is another knock out in this range from Myriad. (AG)
