Product Highlights
Medium plus-bodied with finesse and focus, this wine opens with notes of black cherry, boysenberry and a hint of spice. Notes of barrel tones, including baking spice and vanilla on the palate, mingle with red plum and anise. A velvety texture is present without compromising its inherent cabernet weight, while a juicy mid-palate reveals a persistent finish with chalky yet polished tannins. Emphasizing balance and elegance, this wine shows restraint and tension, perfectly built for a long aging potential.

Expert Reviews
Picked well before the Glass Fire (between September 5th and 18th), the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane Vineyard is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Cherry fruit dominates, although there are hints of darker fruit, cigar box and mocha. Full-bodied and richly concentrated, this is a clear step up from the Napa bottling, finishing long, lush and velvety, with a deep, earthy undercurrent.
