title: Charles Krug 2008 Family Reserve Generations Red (Napa Valley)
description: Fruit is the hallmark of this blend, based on Cabernet Sauvignon but with one-third Merlot. It's flamboyant in blackberries and cherries, so ripe and pure, while oak adds an equal measure of sweet toast and smoke. With firm, ripe tannins, this wine needs time in the cellar. Should begin to come into its own after 2015.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
