Krupp Brothers Syrah Stagecoach

點擊次數(shù)：1884

The 2008 Syrah Stagecoach Vineyard is plush, round and totally inviting. This is a style that emphasizes textural finesse and body over the varietal notes that are typical of this grape. Dark red plums, flowers and licorice wrap around the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. The Krupp brothers and winemaker Aaron Pott make rich, textured wines. The Krupps have sold fruit from their large, well-known Stagecoach vineyard for years, but have only been bottling since 2008. The most interesting wines are the Syrahs and Cabernets. The Black Bart Syrah is made from the lower parts of the family’s holdings in Stagecoach and is aged about 20 months in oak. The Krupp Brothers Syrah is made from the higher blocks on the Stagecoach hill, and sees 3 years in oak. It is a much smaller production wine than the Black Bart. The top of the line Cabernet Sauvignon M5 is a selection from a parcel planted with the Wiemar clone sourced from Chateau Latour. The 2009 Cabernets saw lengthy macerations lasting as much as 50 days, and were subsequently aged in French oak barrels, 70% new.Tel. (707) 226-2215
