Krupp Brothers Napa Valley The Doctor Red Blend (2022)

Wine Tasting Notes
The 2022 Doctor is lush and round, blending Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon into a wine of black cherry, milk chocolate, cardamom and anise. Elegant tannins frame the generous fruit, giving a polished, seamless texture. A long, chocolatey finish makes it a great match for grilled lamb or chorizo, and it will drink well through the late 2030s.
