The tasting note for 2014 B Cellars Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard Cabernet Franc is from Robert Parker and the score is 93-95 - B Cellars clearly utilizes some of the best vineyard sources in Napa Valley, many of them owned by the Beckstoffer family. Take for example the 2014 Cabernet Franc Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard. This is a gorgeous wine scheduled to be bottled in about three months that offers up intense blueberry notes with white flowers, crushed rock and, again, is somewhat La Mission Haut-Brion in a Napa perfume and flavor profile. This is a gorgeous, opulent, medium to full-bodied wine, but is delicate and ethereal in the mouth. This is a stunner to drink when released and should keep nicely for 10-15 years.
