Wine Description
The Crane Assembly GB Crane el Coco Red Blend 2021, crafted by the skilled hands of winemaker Kevin A. Fox, stands as a testament to the rich heritage of one of Napa Valley’s oldest vineyards. This el coco wine, a harmonious blend of 56% Zinfandel and 44% Petite Sirah, encapsulates the spirit and tradition of the historic vineyard established by Dr. George Beldon Crane in 1885.
Upon pouring, the gb crane el coco reveals a captivating deep garnet-purple hue, inviting the connoisseur into a world of intricate aromatics and flavors. The nose is greeted by a luxurious bouquet of juicy framboise, ripe strawberry, and bramble, beautifully enlaced with musk and an elegant toasted French oak frame. This initial aromatic complexity makes the el coco red wine a sensory delight from the very first encounter.
As the wine dances across the palate, the legacy of The Crane Assembly el coco becomes evident. A rich entry of black plum and darker-toned fruits merges seamlessly with the crushed gravel undertone. This robust character is perfectly balanced by the brightness of Bing cherry and delicate floral notes, which extend through the length of the palate and culminate in a memorable finish. The wine’s structure is further enhanced by a balancing acidity and pleasing tannins, leading to a lifted close marked by satiating white pepper.
Critics have also lauded the 2021 G.B. Crane Vineyard el Coco. Awarded 92 points by The Wine Independent, it is praised for its fragrant notes of violets, wild thyme, and roses, which leap from the glass and pave the way to a core of stewed cherries, raspberry preserves, and a hint of baking spices. The full-bodied palate, characterized by its very soft texture and understated acidity, carries bags of fruit, finishing long and savory. This critical acclaim underlines the el coco wine’s ability to capture the imagination and satisfy the palate of discerning wine enthusiasts.
In every sip of the gb crane el coco, one can sense the dedication to preserving the legacy of the Crane vineyard. The intricate blend not only pays homage to the field blend tradition of ‘mixed blacks’ but also showcases the unique character brought forth by the mingling of old vines with newer plantings. The Crane Assembly el coco elegantly expresses this storied past, while firmly planting itself as a modern classic.
The 2021 el coco red wine, with its limited production of just 535 cases, is not merely a beverage but a journey through time and tradition. Each bottle of The Crane Assembly el coco is a piece of California’s viticultural history, inviting wine lovers to partake in a legacy that has been carefully cultivated and preserved. In the world of fine wines, the GB Crane Vineyard el Coco Red Blend 2021 stands as a beacon of quality, heritage, and the art of winemaking.
