Wine Enthusiast Lauds Charles Krug Reds

In the upcoming November 15th issue of Wine Enthusiast, three current releases of Charles Krug wines received excellent ratings. The Cellar Selection of the month is the 2002 Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon rated 92. The 2002 Family Reserve Generations was rated at 89 and the 2002 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon received an 88.
Steve Heimoff reviewed all three wines. About the Vintage Selection he writes, "a ripe but firm, balanced Cabernet. The black current and cassis flavors mesh well with the oak and soft tannins, leading to real elegance. Drinks well now, but should hold for a good 10 years, if not longer."
With Generations, he notes that it is "...a well-oaked Cab that shows the winery's traditional preference for balance over power. It's not a blockbuster Napa Cab, but a subtle, harmonious one, with an elegant interplay of fruit and tannins. Drink now and over the next several years."
Heimoff reviews the Napa Valley Cabernet as a "world-Class Cabernet, made in the modern style. It's softly textured, with melted tannins and low acidity. Black currants, cassis, cherries, milk chocolate and spices come together and last through a long finish."
