Country: US / Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Knights Bridge / Napa Valley
Dusty tannins and notes of dried herbs give this vigorous young Cabernet a mark of immaturity that strongly suggests time in the cellar, despite flashy blackberry and black currant flavors. The winery has done a great job with fruit from the Dr. Crane Vineyard for several years, and this majestic wine is right up there with the great ’07 vintage. Best after 2018.
