Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Since 1944, Charles Krug's flagship wine, Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, has been crafted only when the vintage is optimum. This vintage provided a real melange of favorable conditions that yielded aromas of nutmeg, brown sugar, vanilla bean and black cherries. Luscious flavors of roasted chestnuts, blueberry jam and cranberry apple compliment the soft chewy texture and integrated toasty oak nuances.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    The dense ruby/purple-colored 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Selection Estate reveals sweet aromas of creme de cassis, cedarwood and spice box in its classic Bordeaux Pauillac-like personality. Medium to full-bodied with sweet tannins, this rich, layered 2008 exhibits abundant black fruit notes intertwined with hints of espresso and earth. Approachable now, it should drink well for two decades.

Charles Krug Winery Video

In 1861, Charles Krug, the visionary father of Napa Valley winemaking, established the winery that started it all. In 1943, Cesare and Rosa Mondavi purchased this iconic estate and continued to build on its reputation for innovation and uncompromising quality. Their son, Peter Mondavi Sr., carried on this tradition remaining active in the winery until his passing in 2016 at the age of 101.

Today his two sons–Peter Jr. and Marc–steward the family business as co-proprietors intent on building a lasting legacy for their children and those generations still to come. 2018 marked the 75th Anniversary of four generations of Mondavi Family ownership of Charles Krug.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
