Summary

The 2017 Arrow & Branch Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is a distinguished wine from a historic site in St. Helena, characterized by its gravelly, alluvial soils. This small-lot offering reflects the meticulous care taken during the harvest, which occurred before the October fires, resulting in low yields and exceptional quality. The wine showcases a fragrant bouquet with deep notes of blackcurrants, cherries, and subtle earthy undertones. Its full-bodied nature is complemented by silky tannins and a balance of richness and elegance, promising to evolve beautifully over the next two decades. The blend includes 5% Petit Verdot and was aged for 20 months in 75% new French oak.
