Dr. Crane Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon
Representing the epitome of balance and gracefulness, our Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from vines that thrive in the rocky terrain and gravelly loam soils of the celebrated Dr. Crane vineyard. The trademark lifted, floral nose with blue fruits accented by berries, earth, and spice lead into a palate that walks the line of vibrancy and power, delicacy aligned with richness and depth. It is our most beguiling and truly elegant wine.
Vineyard
Located at the base of the western hills in St. Helena, this celebrated vineyard was first planted in 1858 by Dr. George Belden Crane. The vines here are vigorous with extensive leaf coverage as they thrive in the rocky terrain and gravelly loam soils. Producing wines of unparalleled quality and uniqueness, this vineyard is a testament to the excellence of Cabernet Sauvignon.

98 Points International Wine Report
The 2022 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is nothing short of exceptional...It opens with an enchanting bouquet of ripe blueberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants... On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and refined...leading to a lengthy, memorable finish that reveals layers of dark fruit, floral notes, and lingering mineral nuances.
