2015 G.B. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvginon by The Crane Assembly | Napa Valley California 750ml

Opening with soft aromatics of a wild blackberry patch, pencil shavings and ripe fig, the nose evolves into a more nuanced melange of violets, fresh sepia pasta and salad nicoise. Vibrant and energetic upon entry, the vintage's elegant qualities continue with a refined mid-palate of dark berry fruits, a touch of licorice and dark chocolate. The robust tannins - a result of the estate's alluvial soils - will develop and mature well into the next decade. 9 barrels produced. | Kevin A. Fox for The Crane Assembly

This is one of those wines where it's hard not to "collect them all". Every bottle we have seen from The Crane Assembly, Dave Phinney's latest Napa Valley project, has been stunning and irresistible. There is a place at the table for his El Coco, The Disciples, and now... G.B. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon. | Falling Bright
