This restrained, mineral-inflected version is sleek and pure, with cassis, bitter plum and black cherry puree notes streaked with alder, savory and iron through the fine-grained and pinpoint finish. A red of precision and focus. Best from 2026 through 2040. 1,026 cases made.—J.M.

A terrific bargain (in the context of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon), Salvestrin's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Dr. Crane Vineyard is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, all from the site adjoining the winery. Gentle cedar and cinnamon notes accent ripe cherries and loamy earth, with the merest hint of dried herbs on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied in the mouth, with a silky, softly dusty feel that suggests cocoa powder on the long, elegant finish.
