G.B. Crane El Coco Red Blend 2015 (75cl)

G.B. Crane El Coco Red Blend 2015 is a Napa Valley field-blend red wine from St. Helena, California, made by The Crane Assembly. It draws on vines first planted in 1885 on the historic Dr. George Beldon Crane property, with gravel-rich soils and a roughly 130-year-old field blend at harvest. The blend is 56% Old Vine Zinfandel, 27% Petite Sirah and 17% Merlot, barrel-aged separately for a full year before blending. The nose shows fruitcake, chocolate, earth, incense, raspberry pie, blueberry compote and Indian spices. The palate is full-bodied with black plum, boysenberry, dark cherry, dried berries, cinnamon and vanilla, plus a savory meatiness and toffee note. The finish is firm and chewy, with lingering dried berry and spice.
