The Crane Assembly Selection of Wines
2024 Disciples Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley ($50)- Pale straw in the glass, like a hint of morning sunshine. Aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and crushed stone lead into a vibrant palate layered with lemon curd, key lime, and ripe stone fruit. A touch of French oak adds depth to the juicy, savory finish.
2021 Disciples Red Wine, Napa Valley ($55)- Dark, rich, and expressive, this bold blend opens with aromas of briar fruit, black plum, and charred meat. The palate is plush and structured, layered with black fruits, mint, sarsaparilla, and a savory thread of minerality.
2022 G.B. Crane Vineyard el Coco Red Wine, St. Helena ($85)- Opens with aromas of violets, dark chocolate, and plum, layered with raspberry, blue fruits, and black tea. Rich and plush on the palate, it delivers flavors of anise, black cherry, and ripe raspberry. The finish is long and mineral- driven, with a slate-like grip that adds structure and depth.
2021 G.B. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena ($675 3-pack)- Opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, cassis, sage, and plum. The palate is broad and intense, layered with ripe boysenberry, blueberry jam, and cedar, finishing with smooth, elegant oak tannins. A rich, structured wine that lingers with depth and grace.
