The inky/purple 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Revealing the latter varietal’s gorgeous menthol, blueberry, and floral characteristics along with tremendous texture, this rich, long, spectacular 2002 holds great promise. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018. I admire what Les Behrens, Bob Hitchcock, their wives, friends, and lunatic dog are doing at their winery and cellars on the top of Spring Mountain. They are obsessed fanatics who make wine with no compromises ... obviously my kind of people.Tel. 707-963-1774; Fax 707-963-8206
