Wine Review: For the most part, I love Cab's from the Dr. Crane Vineyard. This wine is no exception, I really loved this one. It is very opaque and dark purple colored. It opens with a fragrant black raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this Cab is full bodied, wonderfully balanced, silky, and displays superior elegance. The flavor profile is a delicious mild black currant and blueberry blend with a hint of spice and milk chocolate. The finish is dry and its elegant fine tannins and lingering fruit flavors are delightful. Pair this Excellent wine with filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The Dr. Crane Vineyard as some of you know, is a very special vineyard and the 2004 vintage produced some spectacular wine. This wine is a Cab-lover's dream. It's extremely rich and concentrated with big tannin and big ripe fruit. There are layers of spicy cedar and cassis flavors woven into the solid and well balanced structure. The finish never seems to end with subtle spices like nutmeg and clove to chew on. This is one of those wines we cannot wait to share with family and friends especially with a big plate of pasta or over a juicy steak.
