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. ...
The 2018 Napa Valley Merlot has expressive aromas of cranberry, pomegranate & cherry followed by lovely hints of tobacco & toffee.
This medium-bodied wine delights with rich cherry & blueberry flavours accented with hints of walnut & toasty oak across the long supple finish. ...
Sourced principally from our five family estates in Yountville, this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays cranberry & briary aromas with hints of brown butter & clove.
This medium-to-full bodied wine showcases a rich mix of cranberry & black currant flavours set against a beautifully integrated backdrop of lightly toasted oak, all leading to a smooth lingering finish of berries & butter. ...
First produced in 1944, Vintage Selection is the ultimate expression of the Charles Krug portfolio, an elegant, artfully balanced wine that has stood the test of time.
The 2016 release incorporates pristine fruit from three flagship vineyards: Voltz (39%) & Slinsen (32%) in Yountville & Cold Springs (29%) on Howell Mountain. This marks the first time in 75 years that mountain fruit has been incorporated into our signature offering. The finished wine features inviting aromas of black fruit, toasted caramel & vanilla seamlessly integrated with flavours of black cherry, boysenberry & tobacco that linger on the finish.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 Points, October 2018. ...
A warm, rich wine with dark plum & prune aromas. The sweet cedar oak character is still evolving, along with dark, rich fruitcake flavours. The palate is rich, full & weighty with length & a firm mouthfeel. Definitely built for the long term. ...
A wonderful expression of the traditional Barossa style.
Deep in colour & softly perfumed with an excellent melding of vanillin & cedar oak aromatics & rich Barossa Shiraz fruit.
Intense coffee & mocha flavours are supported by firm tannins & richness of mouthfeel. ...
Very complex spicy nose. Sweet cedary notes from the hint of new oak used mingle with a hint of liquorice. The mid-palate is plump with rounded tannins & complex layers of flavour. The finish is long & rewarding. 73% Syrah/ Shiraz, 23% Grenache/ Garnacha, 4% Mataro. ...

This wine is deep red in colour with a hint of an amber edge.
The nose is intense with ripe red fruit flavours intermingled with sweet spice & salted caramel.
Beautifully balanced with a plump mouthfeel & soft tannins, it culminates in a long savoury finish. ...
Lovely vibrant crimson/magenta hue. Deep colour, less so than the 2010, but still good depth & brightness. Delicious young Grenache lift is evident with a little touch of sweet marzipan that seems unique to this vintage. On the palate, just the right amount of acidity, crisp flavours & fleshiness. ...
