The 2019 3D Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the premium Dr. Crane fruit we have the privilege of growing and making into wine. Fruit-forward and voluptuous, this wine sings with notes of blackberry, subtle spice, and vanilla. The mouth-feel is seamless, elegant, and bold. Refined chalky textured tannins give way to a lengthy finish. This spectacular wine is poised for aging.
Wine Advocate 98 "A barrel selection that stays in oak for an extra year, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon 3D Dr. Crane Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, a mix of several clones. Marked by subtle cedar and vanilla shadings and wonderfully deep cassis notes, it's full-bodied, rich, and supported by supple tannins and an elegant, lingering finish. Lovely stuff! With 450 cases produced, it's a terrific value in upper-echelon Napa."

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.

Rich, broad and immediately appealing, this full-bodied wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in all-new French oak barrels. The wine offers generous, ripe dark plums and berries on melted tannins that give some structure without too much bite. Grown in a historic vineyard farmed by the Salvestrins for 91 years, it will drink best through at least 2030.
