Charles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon

Our Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon has flavors of ripe black cherry, blackberry and black currant with hints of dried blueberry and cocoa. A sturdy structure and generous black fruits lend definition to a long, memorable finish. 90 Points Wine Spectator (2016 Vintage). Varietal Makeup: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Petite Sirah Aging: 14-18 Months in French Oak Barrels Vintage Information- Napa Valley received a steady amount of rain during the winter months, saturating the ground and paving the way for the vintage to come. The early and mild spring saw a good berry set, while the rest of the season was marked by some significant heat spikes in June and August with one final spike over Labor Day Weekend, which all combined to make it one of the hotter years on record. While the harvest was slightly smaller than normal—with moderate berry and cluster size—the quality was exceptional.
