BERNARD MAGREZ
BECKSTOFFER DR. CRANE
2011 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
The synchronicity between esteemed winemaker Benoit Touquette and Beckstoffer’s iconic Dr. Crane Vineyard is powerful and absolutely indisputable… Benoit is responsible for multiple 100 points from this very vineyard as the winemaker at Realm. And as one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated heritage vineyards, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane produced single vineyard Cabernets from Paul Hobbs, Realm and Myriad to list a few. Nearly all Cabernet from this hallowed ground ranges from $175 to over $500/btl…Saturating, intense, generous, lovely… these would all be perfect descriptors for the 2011 Bernard Magrez. There’s also something magical that often happens right around five years in the bottle. This wine has a fully developed, intense and hedonistic bouquet that can only come from bottle age. It has focused, powerful intensity and scrumptious texture, that has to be experienced to be believed. I strongly recommend adding some of this gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon to your cellar.

From Vinous: “The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane Vineyard from Bernard Magrez is another impressive wine for the year. Long, persistent and intense, the 2011 stands out for its focus and energy. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, sweet French oak and leather flow through to the layered, finish. The sweet, floral notes so typical of the 337 Cabernet clone present in Dr. Crane ring out on the finish.” 92 Points

2010 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
JAKE’S CREEK VINEYARD
From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, “Dark cherries, plums, menthol, licorice and flowers all come together in the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Jake’s Creek Vineyard. There is plenty of intensity in the glass as this full-bodied, opulent wine shows off its considerable personality. Sweet floral and spiced notes add lift on the finish. Readers will have to be patient with the 2010 Jake’s Creek, but it is striking, even today. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030.” 94 Points
