Crane Family 2006 Cabernet Sauvingon - $24.99 (winery price $62.00)
Tasted blind against several other Napa wines in the same price range, the new Crane Family Cabernet was the overall winner of the group and a solid crowed pleaser with all of the more experienced tasters. The solid and elegant bottle opened easily, the cork showing signs of mild penetration and good storage. The wine itself was a deep ruby color. The initial aromas are of a mild, fruity tobacco with hints of cherry, roses and a little vanilla at the finish. Deep, ripe black cherry fruit fills your mouth at the start but the wine dose not loose its balance at the finish. The tannins are in good balance all the way through with a restrained alcohol that hints at an opportunity for a little more aging potential.
