Krupp Brothers
Black Bart's Bride Napa Valley White Blend
The first time I've ever complimented a bride with "you're so fat and round." It's the texture. A full-on veneer. 70/30 Marsanne/Viognier from two blocks of the Stagecoach Vineyard in Napa. Honeysuckle for days, with stone fruit and honeydew melon. The secondary bitterness is matched and balanced with the sweetness of orchard fruit juice.

Mar 29th, 2017This wine went in a different direction in 2014 as a Viognier/Roussanne blend. Also a much lighter touch on the oak. Lovely floral and mineral aromas.

Sep 7th, 2016Massive wine. Gonna need time to integrate the alcohol with the oak and fruit. Not out of balance so much as just hot. It'd be cougar juice right now if your cougar had a slightly open mind about wine. Give this one time in your cellar. Like 5-10 years. Marsanne 70%/Viognier 30%. Yes. I know. High alcohol grapes to start with.

Mar 6th, 2016When you first open the bottle, you get a rush of flowers run through your nose. And that at the begin sets a tone for a light wine that is full of flavor.
