"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard blew me away. Wet rocks, subtle barbecue smoke, blueberry pie, blackberry and cassis fruit aromas jump from the glass of this inky/purple-colored wine. Oozing with extract and richness, it is full-bodied, opulent, sexy, complex and incredibly delicious and addictive. This stunning 2012 can be drunk now or cellared . . ."

St. Helena is a warm valley-floor sub-AVA in Napa Valley, California, producing rich, ripe and generously fruited Cabernet Sauvignon of supple tannins, plush texture and classic Napa structure.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
