More About 2021 Krupp The Wheelman Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon In the mid-1990s, the Krupp brothers were captivated by a rugged 750-acre parcel atop Atlas Peak. Despite its formidable challenges—water scarcity, isolation, and volcanic, rocky terrain—the brothers were determined to cultivate a vineyard. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to locate an underground water source, they succeeded with the unconventional aid of a water witch. The Stagecoach Vineyard, a testament to the Krupps' perseverance and vision, has become one of Napa Valley's most iconic properties. It produces bold, penetrating wines with extraordinary structure. The Wheelman, a limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon, is renowned for its exceptional quality, robustness, and volcanic minerality. Aged 22 months in 70% new French oak, the 2021 release is approachable now but promises to evolve gracefully for years to come. Embrace the legacy of the Stagecoach Vineyard by experiencing the extraordinary Wheelman Cabernet Sauvignon. Order yours today and discover a wine that defies expectations. Winery Notes: "This wine invites with captivating aromas of violet, anise and luscious plum giving way to the warmth of clove and cardamom. The palate is lush and round, with flavors of milk chocolate spiced by cardamom, seamlessly leading to a lingering finish laced with vanilla. Pair with hamachi collar, a patty melt, or a Cobb salad with blue cheese. Drink now through 2040."
