The Crane Assembly
Disciples Old Vine Zinfandel Petite Sirah
15’ Disciples Zinfandel Blend.
Must confess I’m not a Zinfandel drinker. Certainly don’t mind a glass every now and then. Especially this time of year. My better half and I had a glass apiece & gave the rest of the bottle to the wait staff. I’m certain they’re enjoying it.
Color- Black... no- Dark Garnet, bingo!
Loads of raspberry, ripe strawberries, two packs for a dollar black licorice, pile on the spices, smooth integrated tannins. What’s not to like! Pull the cork & enjoy. Cheers!

Crane Assembly centered around a unique 8-acre vineyard located in St. Helena & believed that George Beldon Crane, or simply G.B. Crane, first established grapes on this site in 1885. A blend of 76% Zinfandel, 13% Charbono, 6% Grenache and 5% Petite Sirah, aromas of fruit and sweet spice. On the palate jammy plum flavors with tons of complex spice and oak. Full rich tannins, great mouthfeel, lingering ending with pepper cigar box spice. Very nice!

1 person found it helpfulNov 2nd, 2017Very interesting red blend from The Crane Assembly. Medium purplish red. Tight on the nose with anise, a touch savory and a little of cocoa. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Fuller attack with a lighter finish. Very dark attack with cocoa, bramble berries and a little jammy. Long and herbal finish. Drink till 2024.

Oct 5th, 2020Great Zinfandel blend with high levels of spicy fruit and smokey oak all balanced in the glass to create a wine which is a meal in itself. Been looking for this for a while, drank last night and went back to the store this morning to get another bottle, any further recommendation needed?
