"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane Vineyard offers up beguiling scents of Morello cherries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles, plus underlying cinnamon stick, chocolate mint and tilled soil hints. Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals a firm and fine-grained texture, allowing the black and red fruits to shimmer with jaw-dropping energy, finishing on a persistent spicy note."

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Dr. Crane Vineyard is cut from the same cloth, offering a Graves-like array of tobacco, scorched earth, chocolate, and cassis. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and balanced, with a great finish, it's slightly more fleshy and approachable than the 2018 and will shine for 15 years as well.

Broad and polished, with an inviting core of cassis and blackberry puree flavors, framed by singed alder and infused with black tea, warm earth and sweet tobacco. Dense and long on the finish, with a sense of inner purity that bodes well for cellaring. Best from 2024 through 2038. 455 cases made.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Dr. Crane Vineyard is laced with ripe red/purplish berry fruit. Blood orange, spice and rose petal flavors. Soft, open-knit and pliant, the 2019 will drink well right out of the gate.
