2017 Charles Krug Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
#26-2020
This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Charles Krug, like many California Cabs these days, is a Bordeaux style Blend, with other grape varieties added for a more complex taste experience. The effect in this case is highly successful! For me however, the best way to enjoy a California Cab, is still with a Slab of thick, juicy beef, grilled medium rare!
The 2017 Krug is big in the nose and long in taste, with a lingering finish, which compliments a nice thick fillet in a stylish manner. The flavors are mostly black cherry with a healthy dose of dark berries, and just the right amount of oak in its smooth finish, which begs for another sip. The alcohol content is 14.1%, and Norm's score is 90.
A bottle of Krug Cab, a thick fillet, a baked potato, and a fresh salad of Romaine and Avocado, made a delightful dinner for us on an early summer night. Oh how I love Grilling Season, especially since it is also Cab Season
score: 90
price: $28 - $33
