Krupp Brothers 2012 "Veraison" Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2012 Krupp Brothers “Veraison” Cabernet Sauvignon from Stagecoach Vineyard pours an inky black color and opens with aromatic complexity, offering layers of ripe currant, plum, chocolate, toasted French oak, vanilla, graphite, and sage spice. On the palate, it is flush and round, with flavors of ripe black cherry, blackberry, baker’s chocolate, and caramelized oak, all carried on a silky yet powerful texture. The finish is satin-like, rich, and lengthy, showcasing supple elegance and balance. This wine pairs exceptionally well with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, venison, and herb-crusted lamb, while also complementing earthy dishes such as mushroom ragout or truffle risotto. Its bold tannins and concentrated mountain fruit make it a natural partner for hearty, savory cuisine.
