Salvestrin Winery Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, St Helena, California, USA 2021

The 2021 Salvestrin Winery Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena, California, is a Napa Valley knockout. Pour it, and you’re hit with a deep ruby glow that screams pedigree. The nose is a brooding mix of blackberry, cassis, and graphite, with a hint of sagebrush adding a wild twist. On the palate, it’s rich and structured—velvety tannins wrap around dark fruit and a streak of minerality, finishing with a smoky, espresso-laced edge. This is classic Dr. Crane terroir in full flex: powerful, elegant, and built to age. Pair it with a ribeye or cellar it—either way, it’s a stunner.
