The Crane Assembly Disciples Red Blend is a bold, extroverted Napa Valley red wine inspired by the historic field blends of California's winemaking past. Crafted by winemaker Kevin A. Fox, this wine is sourced from some of Napa Valley's most celebrated heritage vineyards, including old-vine parcels that neighbor the vineyards of legendary estates like Scarecrow and Phelps.

The Disciples is a multi-varietal blend anchored by Zinfandel and Petite Sirah alongside complementary Rhone and Bordeaux varietals such as Charbono, Merlot, Syrah, and Grenache, with the exact composition varying by vintage. The wine pours a vivid, deep cardinal to black-purple color with slow legs in the glass. Aromatics are expressive and complex, offering briar fruit, black plum, cranberry compote, charred meats, redwood forest floor, and earthy graphite notes. On the palate it delivers ripe red and dark fruits, tarragon, roast lamb, sarsaparilla, and a spice of star anise, with rich yet structured grippy tannins and a long, lingering finish. Reviewers frequently compare its profile to wines like The Prisoner. The 2021 vintage earned 92 Points from both Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Lisa Perrotti-Brown of The Wine Independent. At 15.7% ABV, it is a full-bodied wine that rewards 30 to 60 minutes of decanting before serving.

Disciples pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, hearty stews, aged hard cheeses, and wood-fired barbecue. It is an excellent choice for entertaining or as a host gift.
