Charles Krug Limited Reserve 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Ten Clones Napa Valley

Our Ten Clones Cabernet Sauvignon highlights the layering and  complexity provided by the diverse clonal selections grown in  our estate vineyards. This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and  aged in French oak barrels (90% new) for 20 months. It features  a bouquet of chocolate covered cherries, mineral, blueberry and  bay leaf. The firm structure of the wine contains flavors of ripe  cherry and blueberry with toasted oak, as well as brown sugar and  a touch of tobacco. Napa Valley received a steady amount of rain during the winter  months, saturating the ground and paving the way for the vintage  to come. The early and mild spring saw a good berry set, while the  rest of the season was marked by some significant heat spikes in  June and 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 and cluster size—the quality was exceptional 750ml
