"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard displays a deep purple-black color and an intense perfume of blueberry preserves, boysenberries, clove oil and blackcurrant pastilles, with underlying hints of Indian spices, sandalwood, tilled soil and forest floor. The densely packed, full-bodied palate explodes with black and blue fruit preserves flavors, accented by a whole array of exotic spices and incense sparks and framed with a solid line of grainy tannins, finishing with epic length and a lively lift. Decadently delicious."
