This comes from the backstreets of St. Helena and the site basically looks like a quarry with its extreme gravelly soils. The wine is made from clone 337, which may be my favorite of the Cabernet clones. As I have said before, this is a Mission Haut-Brion on steroids – an incredibly fabulous wine with notes of scorched earth, charcoal embers, blackberry and blueberry fruit, an almost endless mouthfeel with powerful fruit, but elegance as well as purity. A thoroughly flawless and seamless full-bodied wine with 30 years of upside, this is pure perfection. If you have the patience, try to hold off for a couple of years, as this is one of the more structured of the 2014s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/TABS --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-05-30T13:13:10-04:00","created_at":"2024-05-30T13:13:10-04:00","vendor":"Realm ","type":"Red","tags":["99 RP","Country_USA","Finding_Inventory","ProductType-Wine","PROMO","Rating_99","Region_Napa Valley","Size_750 ml.","Subregion_ St. Helena","Type_Cult","Type_Red","Varietal_","Varietal_Cabernet Sauvignon","Vintage_2014","Volume_Discount","Winery_Realm "],"price":57500,"price_min":57500,"price_max":57500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41480967553060,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A7242","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Realm  - 2014 - Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard - 750 ml.","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":57500,"weight":2267,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":2,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"A7242","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Realm-2021-CabernetSauvignonBeckstofferDr.CraneVineyard_d003d9d4-89b3-4369-a82e-571b657a37e9.png?v=1717092927"],"featured_image":"\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Realm-2021-CabernetSauvignonBeckstofferDr.CraneVineyard_d003d9d4-89b3-4369-a82e-571b657a37e9.png?v=1717092927","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":25258203906084,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":2000,"src":"\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Realm-2021-CabernetSauvignonBeckstofferDr.CraneVineyard_d003d9d4-89b3-4369-a82e-571b657a37e9.png?v=1717092927"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Realm-2021-CabernetSauvignonBeckstofferDr.CraneVineyard_d003d9d4-89b3-4369-a82e-571b657a37e9.png?v=1717092927","width":2000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry: \u003cstrong\u003eUSA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegion: \u003cstrong\u003eNapa Valley \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSub Region: \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Helena\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVarietal: \u003cstrong\u003eCabernet Sauvignon \u003cstrong\u003e - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage: \u003cstrong\u003e2014\u003c\/strong\u003e - Size: \u003cstrong\u003e750 ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e - Type: \u003cstrong\u003eRed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith interesting parallels to Chateau Haut-Brion, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane is undoubtedly one of the finest vineyards in St. Helena, and its wines are unmistakable. “You know it when you smell it,” says Winemaker Benoit Touquette. “Dr. Crane has everything you look for -- minerality, complexity, excellent fruit definition, good tannin structure; a complete wine with many layers.” Realm sources from four blocks in Dr. Crane for a wine that is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6 blended with a small amount of Petit Verdot.\u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\u003ch5\u003eExpert Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker: \u003c\/strong\u003e99\u003cp\u003eThere are 400 cases of the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, which is 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot.
