The palate presents a superb structure with delicate fine-grained tannins that frame a core of dried fruits and kirsch, leading into the classic Dr. Crane Vineyard spice that intermingles with an intriguing graphite complexity, creating a lifted, long, and dusty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003eOne of the finest wines I was able to taste in the vintage is the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, a deep, inky-hued 2020 with lots of black and blue fruits as well as Graves-like scorched earth, tobacco, and smoked herbs. Full-bodied, concentrated, and opulent, it has ripe tannins, a round, mouth-filling texture, and outstanding length. It’s going to evolve for 15 years.\u003cbr\u003e94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003ePicked on September 23, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard matured in 85% new French oak. It's medium to full-bodied, with bright cherries framed by cedar. Slightly coarse and open-knit in texture, with a grainy mouthfeel, it finishes a bit tart. To be fair, these are quibbles in the context of the vintage, which only suffers when compared to the several preceding years; it's still an excellent wine.\u003cbr\u003e92 Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003eShows steeped plum, boysenberry and blackberry fruit that has a slightly exotic feel, carried by a caressing structure and backed by generous warm cocoa and melted black licorice. Delivers just enough brambly energy on the finish to keep things honest. Drink now through 2033.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Hobbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47718296846560,"sku":"106679","price":304.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/vicscllzcgths9ovivkj.jpg?v=1756928997","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/paul-hobbs-beckstoffer-dr-crane-vineyard-cabernet-sauvignon-st-helena-2020-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
