Salvestrin 2018 Dr. Crane Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
4554
Product Details
The flagship 2018 Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon opens with
aromatics of ripe black cherry, dried orange peel, and Mediterranean herbs.
Silky upon entry, this wine is full-bodied and broad with mouth coating
polished tannins. Showing grace and power, the winemaking style is ripe yet
restrained. A bottle to enjoy now with proper decanting, but also one that
will age for decades. The finish is persistent, with notes of dark chocolate
and dried thyme lingering long after the last sip.
#9 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2021
(95 WS) Bright and fresh, with lots of red currant, plum and
black cherry fruit notes driving along nicely, while a subtle tug of iron runs
underneath. Late floral and warm earth flashes on the finish add more range and
contrast. Focused, detailed and really well built. To be released October 2021.
Best from 2022 through 2035.
