Crane Vineyards Disciples 2019 Red Wine Blend

Description

WINEMAKER NOTES:

Sourced from heritage vineyards in the Napa Valley, our 2019 Disciples is bold, extroverted and unabashedly Californian. Inspired by field blends of past, our 2019 vintage blends Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Charbono, Merlot, Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

TASTING NOTES:

Pouring a vivid cardinal into the glass, the 2019 Disciples is replete with aromas of cranberry compote, Rainier cherry, Staedtler graphite pencil and Mendocino forest floor – the combination of redwoods, sorels, sun and ocean spray. Upon entry, the wine exudes a bright and lively character with notes of ripe raspberry, red fruits and subtle toasted aok. The wine closes at length with soft fine tannins and an inviting hint of vanilla.
