Fruit is gone, musky flavors are overboard, if you like the after taste of smoking a cigar this vintage is for you!

Amazingly brilliant the 1969 Krug Cabernet Sauvignon gives you a glimpse of what CA wines were all about. Grippy acid still leaves the wine with structure and an amazing balance and a long finish makes this a compelling drink!

Wow!
45 yr old California Cab that is simply sublime! Old school acidity 12%, to preserve the lovely mature fruit and forest floor notes. Started out at 49 degrees and let it get air to accelerate the development from reduction to full expression of lovely Claret style Cab glory!
From the master winemaker - Cesare Mondavi!!
Bravo!
