G.B.Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 3-pack



Following in the footsteps of the successful 2016 vintage, the 2017 growing season was marked with generous rainfall in the late winter followed by a long, hot and dry summer. What resulted was an intense concentration of berries allowing for a wine of remarkable complexity. Harvested at sunrise on September 22nd, 2017, the 2017 G.B. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon immediately expresses the unique representation of its time and place. 

Production 10 Barrels

Blend Composition 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petite Sirah

Tasting Notes

A dark garnet with a touch of vermillion on the rim, the wine opens with layers of ripe blue fruits, black cherry, cedar box, dried tobacco and tarragon. Robust on entry with notes of ripe plum and dark chocolate, the mid-palate conjures a tantalizing earthiness, a pluot reduction, a bouquet garni, all framed by a band of acidity and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Energetic through the finish, the wine closes with dusty, velvety tannins, licorice and a lingering orange peel.

Production 10 Barrels

Blend Composition 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petite Sirah

Tasting Notes

Layered aromatics surface one at a time and blend seamlessly into the next - licorice and tobacco, cassis and cacao, black tea and cigar box. Structured and endearing, the entry is evocative with flavors of ripe blueberry pie and a touch of fennel, evoking a convivial nostalgia. Lingering, the finish rides on the mouthwatering tannins, tantamount to semi-sweet baking chocolate.

Blend Composition 87% Cabernet Sauvignon 8% Petite Sirah 5% Merlot

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.

Powerful opulence. The 2014 G.B. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon opens with layered aromatics of overripe cassis, blackberries and plum. Shades of tarragon, sage and fragrant California chaparral follow closely. The entry is, as expected, rich and lush with a balanced mid-palate rife with juicy stone fruit, black cherries and traces of graphite, clove and licorice. The soft, refined tannins bring the experience to a slow, elegant close - flavors persisting at length.

Stoic, the 2013 GB Crane Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a layered nose of ripe black plum, blackcurrants, allspice and fir. Massive upon entry, the textured palate floods with flavors of blackberry compote, ristretto and hints of pomegranate, complicated by strings of brambly fruit. Ever evolving on both the nose and palate, the baking chocolate structure has integrated tannins that will soften in time.

Price: $675 per 3-pack

Soft hints of toasted French oak dominate the hugely aromatic entry and provide ample support to the generous array of fruit that provide the start to this wine. An immense mid-palate explodes with a cacophony of dense dark chocolate and ripe bing cherries. The oak found on the entry lingers and frames an almost endless finish replete with a full complement of flavors and ripe tannins.
