A blend of 71% Zinfandel and 29% Petite Sirah, the 2020 G.B. Crane Vineyard el Coco is remarkably refined and finessed for a young Californian blend. It sings with an exquisitely aromatic nose of berry compote, black raspberry, black currant, violet, and allspice. The palate is densely concentrated with voluptuous fruit, ample freshness, and fine-grained tannins. Harmonious and beautifully constructed, but it is in need of some time in the decanter if you choose to enjoy this delectable wine soon.
