Realm Cellars Beckstoffer Dr. Crane St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

Dr. Crane Vineyard sits in a small, residential neighborhood on the west side of town, an unassuming site bordered by an old riverbed and a rock quarry. Its soils, primarily bale loam and river wash, are extremely rocky and well-drained, and its warm, valley floor microclimate lends itself to the Bordeaux varietals grown here. It has distinguishing characteristics of minerality, complexity, excellent fruit definition, good tannin structure and is a complete wine with many layers. Blue fruit notes; graphite, mineral character; electric intensity and freshness.
