Зашёл 17.10.19 поужинать в гордом одиночестве в Бо Бо. Решил выпить бокал каберне совиньона 2015 года. Crane lake - не знал раньше такого производителя. Калифорния как всегда удивляет. Это что- то божественное. Очень нежное , мягкое, великолепное послевкусие. Никакой горечи, терпкости, сухости во рту. Напоминает южноафриканский Garland 2010 года. Надо будет купить пару ящиков. — 6 years ago
Frangrant and fruit-driven with aromas of cherry, blueberry and sage. Subtle herbaceous notes on the palate. — 7 years ago
The last time I had this was at The French Laundry trying to convince someone to support a nonprofit I love. The subsequent gift was generous but, somehow, underwhelming. This wine is like that. A great vintage, a great vineyard, in great hands, but it had so much more potential. I’m not whining about a 97-point wine; I’m lucky to enjoy it. But it could’ve been even more. — 7 months ago
This wine is aging gracefully. Secondary and tertiary notes coming to the fore. Floral/spicy nose that is so fragrant. The cherry has turned dark, supported by more spice, clove, cinnamon. Truly an excellent wine. — 10 months ago

When you first open the bottle, you get a rush of flowers run through your nose. And that at the begin sets a tone for a light wine that is full of flavor. — 5 years ago

Drinking very well right now (2024). Critics said to drink up but I found it still having strong fruit balancing the dirt. Reminded me of some lovely aged Bordeaux I've had in the past. I'd enjoy now or over the next few years if you're lucky enough to have any bottles. Cheers! — 7 months ago
