A blend of 53% Zinfandel and 47% Petite Sirah aged 15 months in 70% new French oak, the 2022 El Coco Red Wine G.B. Crane Vineyard delivers mixed berries on the nose—raspberries and blackberries, maybe some blueberries as well as faintly briary notes. It's full-bodied, supple, creamy textured and plush, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Fun stuff to drink young for its exuberant fruit.

A true field blend, this wine is composed of 55% old-vine Zinfandel and 45% Petit Verdot. It boasts a lavish and wonderfully rich nose, brimming with dark cocoa powder minerality, raspberry preserves, dark cherry, and plum fruit. Juicy and opulent on the palate, it carries through to a long, brown-spiced finish with gentle, well-integrated tannins. Take note of the exceptional varieties planted in this iconic vineyard area, just a stone's throw from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane and Salvestrin. Aged for 14 months in 60% new French oak.
