2019 The Crane Assembly ‘El Coco’ Red Blend G.B. Crane Vineyard Napa Valley

The 2019 el Coco pours a rich and dark garnet with a purple tint in the glass. Aromatically, the wine is boisterously expressive with notes of violet, lilac, blackberry, dark roses, supple leather and exotic spices. An energetic entry that is both elegant and vibrant, the palate is rife with notes of black plum, black cherry, currant, ripe raspberry and a touch of vanilla. Soft tannins abound with palate-coating density resulting in a luscious finish that lingers. 48% Old Vine Zinfandel – 38% Petite Sirah – 14% Merlot. Production – 642 cases
