THE DEBATE!!! I love this winery and the story behind it. Wine is meant to bring people together and us meant to be enjoyed, SHARED & discussed! I dig this winery!!! Amazing wine this evening. Deep, dark and luscious, in my opinions minute step beyond the next bottle BUT 2 this evening preferred it to the next which I preferred. So I guess., the Debate continues!! All kidding aside., buy it if you can get it. Sold in a 3-pack. 100 point beauty & a 98-96. Can't beat that trio!! We uncorked 2 of three and no debate about it......we should've uncorked the3rd!! 😜👌👌😜 whoops! My bad! Lol

Both are Parker 96 points, amazing how much better these are than other 96 pointers for 2012 i.e Caymus 🤢

Dr. Crane rarely disappoints. After couple of hours in decanter, this provides explosive entry and looong finish. Excellent.
