The Crane Assembly "Disciples" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The Wine Palate : 94 Points

(6/2025) The 2022 Disciples Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petite Sirah, and 1% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes barreling out with exuberant notes of black cherry compote, warm cassis, and wild sage, leading to hints of candied violets and wet stones. Full-bodied, the palate has a firm backbone of grainy tannins and a lively line supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing on a mineral note.

Decanter : 93 Points

(2/16/2025) The wine is sleek and polished, offering high-toned notes of grilled herbs and toasty sandalwood, layered with espresso beans. Medium- to full-bodied, it showcases rich, sweet fruit and warm brown spices, all lifted by a silky palate profile and velvety tannins that lend elegance and refinement.
