The Crane Assembly: The Disciple Red Blend 2021
A thoughtfully composed California blend that balances ripe fruit and savory structure. The Disciple 2021 opens with dark cherry, black plum, and a hint of boysenberry, followed by subtle notes of cocoa and baking spice. On the palate it’s medium-plus bodied with smooth tannins, bright but integrated acidity, and a core of juicy blackberry framed by dried herbs and a touch of graphite. The finish is long, warm, and slightly toasted—inviting another sip.
