“Another absolute blockbuster from this singular vineyard just outside of St. Helena, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is based on 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc brought up mostly in oak, with about a fifth in stainless steel. It’s one of the bigger, richer wines in the vintage and has a thrilling bouquet of bloody black and blue fruits, iron, spring flowers, and chocolate. Powerful, full-bodied, deep, rich, and concentrated, with incredible extract and density in its aromas and flavors, this insanely good wine has velvety tannins, an incredible mid-palate, and a great finish. Don’t miss it. It’s gorgeous today, will be insanely good in 4-5 years, and I suspect have 40 years of overall longevity.”
