This St. Helena site produces one of Realm’s most distinctive single-vineyard Cabernets, and the 2023 Dr. Crane is a tour de force. Awarded another perfect 100 points by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, the 2023 joins the pantheon of Dr. Crane vintages that have defined Realm’s reputation.
The 2023 growing season in Napa was marked by steady, moderate weather that allowed grapes to ripen gradually, retaining vibrant acidity and freshness while building layered complexity. It’s a vintage of balance and clarity, with wines showing both poise and generous fruit expression.
What the critics say:
"The 2023 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it is quite closed at this youthful stage, eventually unfurling to offer glimpses of crème de cassis, blueberry compote, and dark chocolate, leading to touches of lilacs, Provence herbs, crushed rocks, and underbrush. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is densely laden with black fruit preserves and perfumed floral and earth accents, supported by super-firm, grainy tannins and a lively line, finishing very long and decadent. Classic Crane."
