Dry red wine, 75cl. Full bodied 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, USA. 15% ABV.
First produced in 1944, the Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is the ultimate expression of the Charles Krug portfolio, an elegant, artfully balanced wine that has stood the test of time. The 2018 release incorporates pristine fruit from three flagship vineyards: Voltz (25%) and Slinsen (42%) in Yountville and Cold Springs (33%) on Howell Mountain. The finished wine features inviting aromas of black fruit, toasted pecan, vanilla and cocoa nibs seamlessly integrated with flavours of blackberry, raspberry, violet and cacoa that linger on the long finish.
