Krupp Brothers 2019 M5 Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

The 2019 Krupp Brothers M5 Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the Stagecoach Vineyard in Napa Valley, opens with a striking aromatic profile that blends savory-sweet and mountain flora notes. Violet, cardamom, black currant, oak moss, and California bay leaf create a perfumed bouquet that is both elegant and powerful. On the palate, the wine reflects the depth of its red rocky mountain soils, offering luscious dark fruits such as blackberry and black raspberry. These flavors are carried by tannins that are simultaneously robust and plush, giving the wine a muscular yet refined texture. The finish is long and resonant, leaving impressions of spice, cocoa, and mineral tones that underscore its complexity and balance.
Food pairings for this vintage highlight its richness and structure. Beef tenderloin with horseradish garlic sauce is a classic match, as the savory depth of the dish complements the wine’s dark fruit and herbal notes. Pasta carbonara also pairs beautifully, with its creamy richness harmonizing with the wine’s plush tannins and layered aromatics. Other suitable pairings include prime rib, braised short ribs, or grilled lamb chops, all of which emphasize the wine’s luxurious mouthfeel and earthy undertones. Aged cheeses such as Comté or Manchego provide a savory counterpoint to its ripe fruit and spice, making them excellent accompaniments.
