“The single-varietal 2021 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Petit Verdot is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of plum preserves, redcurrant jelly, and tar slowly emerge from the glass followed by hints of Sichuan pepper and garrigue. The full-bodied palate delivers amazing tension, with surprisingly plush tannins and loads of black and red berry layers, finishing long and earthy. This is so singular and delicious! This is one of the last of this wine – it was pulled after the 2022 vintage.”

Winemaker Notes from Jennifer Williams
“At first encounter, the 2021 Petit Verdot from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard has an aromatic explosion that continues through layers of complexity in the mouth. The super perfumey nose, bursting with cherry essence, provides an abundance to explore in every sniff. In the palate, a minerally note intertwines with hints of warm, baked earth, molasses, and golden sugar. Its bright and fresh profile is balanced by a richness that lingers long after the first sip, offering a smooth, big-bodied experience. As you delve deeper, nuances emerge, adding a luxurious touch to this exceptional wine.”
