Charles Krug Merlot
Availability:16 In Stock
Napa Valley’s Oldest Winery Estate 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot Aged 15 months in new French Oak barrels.
In 1861, Charles Krug, the visionary father of Napa Valley winemaking, established the winery that started it all. The Mondavi Family purchased this already iconic estate in 1943, and for over 75 years and four generations they have been passionately perfecting an enduring legacy for those generations still to come.
Our 2019 Napa Valley Merlot has expressive aromas of baked cherry and blueberry followed by lovely hints of ground coffee, cream soda and charred rosemary. This medium-bodied wine delights with flavors of baked cherry, cola and brown sugar accented with hints of cinnamon and toasted caramel across the long soft finish.
THE VINTAGE
The 2019 vintage was best characterized as a steady, even growing
season, where our vineyard managers had the luxury of letting each estate’s crop leisurely mature to perfection. Preceded by a cool, wet spring, the season got off to a late start, running about 10 days behind a typical cycle. Accordingly, verasion started a bit late, followed by pretty even heat and ripening thereafter. For the second year in a row, the harvest began in August but extended well into November. Like 2018, it remained relatively warm and dry until we took in the last of our fruit on November 8th.
