Bevan Cellars Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 [100RP]

Bevan Cellars Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Smooth, dry, full bodied palate, with zesty acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish. This is certainly youthful, being mostly fruit and dessert.

Critical Acclaim:

100 Robert Parkers Wine Advocate

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is the crown jewel in this year’s collection of Bevan releases. Hints of green coffee bean and sage accent hugely ripe flavors of black cherries and cassis on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is impossibly plush, wonderfully supple and richly textured, leading into a decadently long finish.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard offers lots of classic Cabernet herbals and pyrazines in its profile. Blackcurrants, green tobacco, chocolate, cedar pencil, and sappy flower notes give way to a full-bodied, seamless beauty with terrific tannins, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and a great finish. Theres certainly a greener edge to it, but it handles it nicely, and it will be interesting to see how this evolves.

95 Vinous

(Bevan Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Napa Red) The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is silky, precise and nuanced, yet it has all the richness Bevan fans have come to expect. Silky tannins and expressive floral notes seem to coax unreal finesse from the red/purplish berry fruit. All the Dr. Crane characteristics come through in this vivid, arrestingly beautiful Cabernet from Bevan. Best of all, the Dr. Crane is one of the more immediate Cabernets in this lineup.
