Krupp Brothers
M5 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Delicate, suave, silky, medium to full bodied wine with soul. Subtlety is its distinctive quality. I just wished more Napa wines could pull this off. Maybe it's the Stagecoach fruit, but who knows?

Oct 4th, 2017A good wine. But on the heels of the Hobbs Winery 2014 CS, this one just didn't stand a chance and kind of put things into perspective a little bit. Might I have given this a 93 or 94 if the Hobbs hadn't spoiled it? That's very possible. This one still had a terrific blackberry core, and some hints of cola, iodine, black licorice. Was still very nice and balanced. The intensity wasn't there, and the complexity was a little absent as well. It was a bit out of balance, as it was very complex up front and seemed to fade towards the rear. IMO the tannin on this wine is still quite present. Does it need a couple more years for integration? Very likely. Does it have the potential to be a 98? No. But 94 is quite possible. Just not today. Drink 2023-2030

A big boy right now. Drinking amazing after being open a bit, excited to think what it'll be like in a few years.

Drank this too young to see its full potential but it's a big powerful wine with all the elements to be very special (in 5 years). Nonetheless it was still really good.
