Realm Cellars Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, Realm's perfect 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard exhibits a La Mission Haut-Brion-like bouquet of blueberries, scorched earth, burning embers and spring flowers, a dense, opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a staggeringly long, multidimensional, 60-second finish. It can be drunk with enormous pleasure now, but promises to evolve for at least a quarter of a century... Robert Parker

Astonishing concentrated yet very balanced. Amazing how they achieved it. Explosion of black fruits and soft tannins.

12’ Realm Beckstoffer Dr Crane. Color- Inky dark purple. This wine jumps out of the glass ( Holy S%#t ) Blueberry pie, blackberries, smokiness, dare I say a bit of earthiness to it. Sexy,complexed & incredibly delicious. WOW! Drinking now with 15 great years in it.

Classy. More reserved than the usual Realm from Dr. Crane and for me that's a good thing. Loved it.

A legitimate wow wine! Youthful and exuberant with gobs of blue and black fruit and a long, lingering remarkably delicious finish. Elegant yet feisty.

A great wine. Slight bitterness but endearing and lush on the mid palate
