Vintage: | 2019 |
---|---|
Description: | At the Helm of the Krupp Bros. winemaking team is the amazing Julien Fayard. Growing up on his family's small vineyard in the Provence region of France, Julien has not missed a harvest since he was 16. Weekend and holiday jobs on the family vineyard eventually turned into a career in the wine business. He trained in Bordeaux, working for the esteemed First Growth Chteau Lafite-Rothschild and Smith Haut Lafitte where he oversaw vineyard management and developed his winemaking skills. After moving to Napa in 2006, Fayard began working alongside Philippe Melka as Director of Winemaking at Atelier Melka. There he honed his winemaking skills all the while learning more about the multiple climates and terroirs that make up the Napa Valley. Julien's winemaking philosophy is vineyard-centric. A blend of new and old world, applying new world creativity and technology to the old-world focus on complexity and aromatics. Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points - "a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Tempranillo, the 2019 Red Blend The Doctor has big, spicy, savory nose of both red and black fruits as well as notes of cured meats, classy oak, baking spices, and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this total charmer has good balance, ripe tannins, and just an over-riding hedonistic, pleasure-bent style. It should keep for decade." |
