Krupp Brothers, Jan and Bart, began with the bold creation of Stagecoach Vineyard. The Stagecoach Vineyard put the Krupp Brothers on the map, supplying fruit to dozens of Napa wineries and building their reputation for bold, mountain-grown Cabernet. After selling Stagecoach, they shifted focus to their estate vineyard and boutique winery, emphasizing small-lot, handcrafted wines. Their portfolio includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Tempranillo, and blends, reflecting both Bordeaux and Rhône influences. The winery estate today sits off the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley, with a Tuscan-style property at the foot of the Vaca Mountains.
This wine opens with inviting aromas of black cherry, milk chocolate, and a touch of cardamom, creating a complex and enticing bouquet. On the palate, it offers a lush, round body with elegant tannins and a long finish. The entry is bright with cherry flavors, which seamlessly transition into a rich mid-palate of chocolate interlaced with anise, adding depth. The structure offers a lingering finish with a kiss of chocolate. Pair with garlic sage pork chop, roasted lamb with fresh herbs, or Mimolette cheese. Drink now through 2038.
Blend: 56% Tempranillo, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon
