The attack is soft and mouthfeel is plush which is then countered by a backbone of acidity and silky tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 Decanter\u003cbr\u003eA blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged for 20 months in 72% new French oak. Sourced from Salvestrin’s parcel of the Dr. Crane Vineyard, this is a lovely, elegant wine that captures both freshness and mineral intensity—no small feat in 2022, given the intense heatwave after Labor Day. Despite the vintage's challenges, this bottling offers a dark fruit profile, featuring black and blue-toned fruit layered with fine cedar spice. The satiny fruit frames velvet-textured tannins, laced with tobacco and fine brown baking spice. Long and mineral-driven, the finish is profoundly satisfying and refined.\u003cbr\u003e93 Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003eThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane Vineyard is a solid wine in the making, revealing a healthy purple hue, lots of red and black fruits, some background chocolaty oak, and medium to full-bodied richness and depth. It has quality tannins as well, and it should certainly be an outstanding wine.\u003cbr\u003eRange: 91-93\u003cbr\u003e93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003eScents of red and black cherries burst from Salvestrin's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane Vineyard. From a historic vineyard on the southern edge of Saint Helena and just west of Highway 29, the wine blossoms with further airing to reveal hints of cedar, vanilla and some darker berries on the nose. Full-bodied and softly tannic, it has an almost airy feel in the mouth rather than a richly concentrated assertiveness, finishing with gently drying notes and hints of French roast coffee. While not quite the equal of the trio of wines to emerge from this property from 2019 to 2021, it's still darn impressive.\u003cbr\u003e93 James Suckling\u003cbr\u003eThis compact and dense red offers ripe dark berries, sweet spices, dried herbs, cocoa and hints of moist earth on the nose. Full-bodied with a textured yet firmly built tannin structure carrying the core of dark fruit through the lingering and persistent finish.\u003cbr\u003e92 Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelatively sleek infeel—not easy to getin this vintage—with red and blackcherry and currant fruit allied to a light mineral edgeand then kissed by singed vanilla and alder on the backend. Tight-grained and focused. A solid effort.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salvestrin Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975851217120,"sku":"107475","price":106.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/crane.jpg?v=1758143111","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/salvestrin-estate-dr-crane-cabernet-sauvignon-2017-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
