Generations is a Bordeaux-style blend created to honuor the Krug family's past, present & future.
Aromas of black cherry, coffee bean & blueberry segue to a full-bodied wine with a long finish of ripe berry & toasty creme brulee.
The fruit is night-picked from the estate vineyards in Yountville & aged in new French oak barrels.
Napa Valley received a steady amount of rain during the winter months, saturating the ground & paving the way for the vintage to come. The early & mild spring saw a good berry set, while the rest of the season was marked by some significant heat spikes in June & 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 & cluster size
- the quality was exceptional.
