Cabernet Sauvignon

Representing the epitome of balance and gracefulness, our Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from vines that thrive in the rocky terrain and gravelly loam soils of the celebrated Dr. Crane vineyard. The trademark lifted, floral nose with blue fruits accented by berries, earth, and spice lead into a palate that walks the line of vibrancy and power, delicacy aligned with richness and depth. It is our most beguiling and truly elegant wine.
