Intense, elegant, and complex. Dark fruits abound with hints of mocha. Be sure to recant for a few hours beforehand. — 4 years ago

Truly a beautiful Cabernet, Rich Salvestrin is an artist of the 1st degree. Sourced from fruit from the historic Dr. Crane vineyard near Saint Helena, this one will easily lay down for decades, though it is drinking well now. Space bold, full-bodied, rich, supple, and well structured, it lacks for nothing. Beautiful wine! — 8 years ago

B did a great job in 2017. This is an outrageously good cab franc. Big wine but tastes like cab franc. Minerality, hint of green, plush dark fruit. — 3 years ago

Another serious Sam Kaplan concoction (Sam is in the photo...not the one with the snake). A Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the famous Dr. Crane, as Piedras and the Weitz Vineyards. Deep color, staining the glass (and anaconda decanter...that will never be the same) and layering the sides of the glass with beautiful, plush opaque runs. Full-bodied to almost dense, but still trademark Kaplan lushness, balance and great finish. Dark cherry fruits and more chocolate than cocoa on the tastebuds with a touch of spice on the nose. Already a stunning wine at 2014, with proper decanting. I am sure it only gets better!! — 8 years ago
