Perry Moore Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard

At first pour, the Perry Moore Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard announces itself with confidence — deep garnet in the glass and a nose that’s all polished cassis, graphite, and a whisper of cedar. The opening is sumptuous: rich dark fruit, velvety tannins, and that unmistakable Dr. Crane structure that seems to balance power and grace in perfect harmony. Paired alongside a perfectly seared ribeye and a simple pasta with truffle butter, the wine absolutely sang — plush, …

Very smooth, berry yet not fruity, complex and well structured. Had with appetizer

Black cherry, blackberry, bell pepper, and spice nose. Velvet sweet blackberries, mocha and bell pepper palate. Plus finish with moderate tannins.

Wine Enthusiast's Toast of the Town (Field Museum - Chicago) : One of the best of the tasting. Really excellent grip and showing its youth but with time this drinks well. Classic culty aromas and the palate is truly something special. Great vineyard. Wish I had more notes.
