Wine reviews

October 2014

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard exhibits that Graves-like scorched earth/wet pebble minerality along with lots of blueberry, black raspberry and cassis fruit, stunning opulence, medium to full body, and no doubt some significant tannins. However, the wealth of fruit and extravagant texture conceal much of the wine’s structure. This should turn out to be a beauty, and drink well for 15-20 years. A dizzying array of wines from B Cellars are all barrel samples, including the red 2012s - RP
