Legend
Our Disciples wines aim to carry on the legacy of St. Helena Pioneer Dr. Crane by crafting wines from meticulously farmed vineyards rooted in rugged terrain and distinctive soil types—wines that reflect the power and structure of our estate bottlings from the G.B. Crane Vineyard.
This journey began with the inaugural vintage of our Disciples Red Wine in 2014. Since then, we’ve continued to seek out vineyard sources that meet our standards for quality and character. The 2021 vintage of Disciples Cabernet Sauvignon came from a single vineyard in St. Helena. For 2022, we returned to that small vineyard in western St. Helena and complemented it with fruit from one of our estate vineyards planted in volcanic rock at the base of the Vaca Mountains in Calistoga.
These two vineyard sources complement each other beautifully: the St. Helena fruit is thick and textural with layers of complex fruit flavors, while the Calistoga vineyard contributes fresh fruit purity, mouthwatering savoriness, a tannic backbone, and aromatic lift.

Winemaker Notes
Dark purple in color with beautiful clarity. Fresh aromatics of blackberry and raspberry carry a mineral edge, complemented by hints of red licorice, cinnamon, and a touch of mint. On the palate, the wine is dense and structured with good grip. Flavors of fresh blackberry and black licorice unfold alongside notes of pencil shavings, graphite, and subtle fennel. The purity of fruit is evident, balanced by firm, mouth-coating tannins. The finish is long and persistent, expanding in the back of the mouth with a mouthwatering salinity that is both savory and succulent—evoking the natural freshness of ripe fruit... A nice lift of fresh acidity gives the wine aromatic energy that carries through the end.
