Alpha Omega 2013 "Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard" St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Advocate 96+

Review Date: 10/2015

Always coming across like a Napa version of a Pessac-Léognan because of the wet pebbles, smoky barbecue and stony notes, which give it a striking minerality, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard exhibits more blueberry, black raspberry and licorice. It again offers full-bodied, super-concentrated flavors that are pure, stunningly intense, and a total hedonistic and intellectual turn-on. This wine also needs 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for up to three decades. 96+ (RP)
