Undoubtedly one of the greatest values in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon today, the ’08 Charles Krug show the wonderful depth and richness of a classy Napa Cab, but without the hefty price tag. The nose offers hints of spice and mocha, with nuances of cassis and blueberry. On the palate is rich and mouth-filling without being heavy. The tannins are glossy, ample but smooth, almost silky. For the money, this Cab will be a tough act for any other Napa Valley winery to follow.
