Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon 3D Dr. Crane Vineyard explodes from the glass with vibrant scents of ripe blueberries, warm cassis and blackberry tart with suggestions of dark chocolate, cinnamon stick, cloves, cedar chest and violets with a fragrant waft of star anise. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is filled with juicy, energetic black berry layers plus tons of spicy accents and a firm, finely grained frame of super-ripe tannins, finishing long and mineral laced. This full-throttle, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon barrel selection cuvee is so charged with purity, exuberance and freshness, every sip will leave you wanting more!

Quite ripe, with lushly layered fig, blackberry and black currant preserve flavors rolling through, supported by a well-embedded iron note and backed by flashes of cast iron and dark tea. Has muscle and definition. Best from 2022 through 2034. — J.M.
