2004 Crane Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon Crane Ranch Vineyard Hillside Block Napa Valley

10% Merlot; 2% Petit Verdot. A nice bit of sweet oak sits to the side of ripe currants and a note of dried grapes in the rich and very ripe aromas of this outgoing effort, and its slightly jammy, tannin-trimmed flavors are much of the same mind. There is not a lot of complexity here, but few will find the wine lacking in richness, and, given the opportunity to rest for a few years, it should round into shape and match up nicely with well-seasoned lamb.
