Blog 59 Charles Krug
In 1861, Charles Krug became Napa Valley’s first winery. Now owned and operated by the Peter Mondavi family for three generations. This winery is located in St. Helena, California. They own eleven Napa Valley vineyard estates that are utilized to make up their wine selections. Family tradition is the foundation of their winemaking and grape growing.
We tasted several wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a Zinfandel Port. I enjoyed the 2005 Family Reserve Generations from Napa Valley. This wine is a tribute to family tradition and commitment to quality. Generations was blended with 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Syrah and aged for 22 months in French oak barrels. Aromas of espresso and nutmeg, and red fruit flavors of black cherry, blueberry jam with a classic finish. 3,280 cases were produced. The price of this wine is $51.00.
Tell me what you think! I want to hear from you! Give me your thoughts!
Bon Vin!
