Goodbye George III, all sold out!

Fret not, we have another killer deal by Krutz next!

This one simply says Napa on it but don’t let that fool you, it ain’t your average Napa Cab, with 96 points by The Wine Independent, a hot newer publication by Master of Wine Lisa Perrotti-Brown who led Wine Advocate before venturing out on her own.

Anyway, back to the wine… we have a 100% Cabernet here, entirely from Clone 7 - a highly sought-after heritage selection also known as Concannon or Wente. They don’t specify the sources but a little digging reveals some of the Beckstoffer crop in there along with an unnamed top site, to protect the innocent. One smell or one sip is all it takes to understand why.

Beautifully crafted and deliciously complex, showing depth, elegance, and finesse, this is rich without being weighty. Full-bodied and layered, with a deep mix of dark berry fruit, cherry, plum and currant, gliding along on a seamless finish. Buy this big-time winner with reckless abandon, thank us later.

You know by now that at Krutz Family, they do all the right things. Hand-picked fruit from exceptional vineyards. New French Oak fermenters from Taransaud. Gravity-fed, free-run-only juice into the most expensive barrels that smell and taste toasty and rich, just how you like it. They spare no expense and routinely get well-deserved scores in the 95-100 range, just like this one.

It’s a GIFT at this price, grab what you can.

96 Points – The Wine Independent

“The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of cassis, baked plums, and boysenberries waft from the glass, followed by hints of dusty soil, Indian spices, and wild sage. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers bright, fresh, youthful fruit with a grainy texture and spicy lift on the finish. Drink 2025-2047.”
