The 2021 G.B. Crane Vineyard el Coco, a blend of 56% Old Vine Zinfandel and 44% Petite Sirah, is deep garnet-purple in color. Fragrant notes of violets, wild thyme, and roses spring from the glass, giving way to a core of stewed cherries, raspberry preserves, and baking spices. The full-bodied palate is very soft, with understated acidity and bags of fruit, finishing long and savory.
