Realm Beckstoffer Dr. Crane 2023 750mL

"Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 19 months in 75% new French oak, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard offers smoky blackcurrants, tobacco, gravelly earth, liquid violets, and freshly sharpened pencil. It's full-bodied, with a concentrated, layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. I always find a certain Pessac/Graves-like character from this site (I've often compared this wine to Haut-Brion), and the 2023 has it in spades. This brilliant, sensationally complex, layered, and virtually perfect wine will keep for 30+ years." - Jeb Dunnuck, JD99, tasted 12/2025
