title: Charles Krug 2009 Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: Vintage Selection has long been the winery's age-worthy 100% Cabernet. Although this has an alcohol content that's higher than in the past, it should still reward cellaring. The wine is rich with a sweet blackberry flavor, with lots of new French oak. The tannins are hard, reminiscent of an older era of Napa Cabernet. Give it 5–6 years, but anything longer than that and the fruit may be threatened.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Vintage Selection
