Bid on this bottle of 2021 Vice Versa "Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (98DC, 97JD, 95RP). Decanter: "The 2021 Vice Versa Beckstoffer Dr Crane Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced mainly from three blocks, each fermented separately and blended later, aged 21 months in 70% new French oak. Now, this is a wine. It has excellent grip, remarkable depth of minerality, and the most refined aromatics of Vice Versa's 2021 lineup. Gorgeous floral and mineral notes emerge on a very seductive nose, filled with dark berry fruit and a hint of charcuterie. Suave, plush, figgy fruit flavours sit above beautifully intricate tannins with a granular but polished quality. Long and lean with saline minerals on the palate, enhanced by sultry cedarwood and mocha notes, this is a precise, focused and remarkably refined Napa Cabernet. (JC)" (04/2024)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard shows the fresher, elegant style of the vintage yet brings gorgeous purity of fruit as well as plenty of density and depth. Darker currants and blueberry-like fruits, as well as spring flowers, violets, iron, and hints of espresso, all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a concentrated, dense, focused style, building tannins, and a great finish. It has an incredible sense of class. I was able to follow this bottle for multiple days and it only improved with air, so do your best to hide bottles for a solid 4-5 years if you can, and if you're opening bottles any time over the coming couple of years, give it a good hour in a decanter.
