Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena, Napa Valley, California

Winemaker Notes

Salvestrin’s approach for the Dr. Crane Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon emphasizes balance and elegance instead of power and opulence. The texture is velvety without compromising its inherent Cabernet weight, the mid palate is juicy and the finish persistently chalky yet polished. Hints of barrel tones including baking spice and vanilla on the palate mingle with notes of red plum and fennel.

Wine Advocate – 95 Points

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.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with nearly all red meat, including prime rib, New York strip and filet mignon.
