This is the first vintage Tor has produced a wine from the iconic Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard and it is a thing of beauty. This outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon displays a wonderful combination of power and finesse, which sets it apart from others. It begins with an incredibly seductive and complex nose, offering stunning aromatics of blueberries, cassis and black plums which are laced with Asian spices, loam, gravel, pencil shavings, herbs, espresso, fresh florals and dark chocolate. On the palate this offers a lovely full body that is beautifully structured with finely polished tannins that result in a gorgeous seamless texture. This goes on to display outstanding overall balance and poise, with a beautifully concentrated core that is packed with delicious red and dark fruit flavors which flow through the sleek, velvety finish. This is a sensational wine from Tor that is already excellent in its youth, but should also go on to have a brilliant future ahead.
