Realm Cellars was founded in 2002 by two friends, Juan Mercado and Wendell Laidley. Scott Becker took over in 2012 and the estate focuses on small-batch, high-quality wines, highlighting the unique characteristics of each vineyard site. This release exemplifies their commitment to artisanal winemaking. From the producers website “When drinking water, remember the source. an old Chinese proverb that could apply to wine as easily as water. Located in what used to be St. Helena’s “Chinatown” in the 1920s, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard sits in a small, residential neighborhood on the west side of town, an unassuming site bordered by an old riverbed and a rock quarry. The vineyard was originally planted in 1858 by San Franciscan Dr. George Belden Crane; today it is owned by Andy Beckstoffer, who replanted it to multiple clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in 1998. Its soils, primarily bale loam and river wash, are extremely rocky and well-drained, and its warm, valley floor microclimate lends itself to the Bordeaux varietals grown here.”
