In 1999, Jan and Bart founded Krupp Brothers, producing their first vintage: a Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec, 4% Merlot & 3% Petit Verdot, 28 months barrel aging, small 224 case production. Deep dark dense red with enticing fruit and herb floral aromas adding an underlying sweetness. Cherry, plum and blackberry flavors with tobacco and oak notes, some nuttiness. Refined big tannins on lingering complex finish ending with earthy herb and fruit. Needs more time to truly enjoy. Tasting Sample

Annual Big Taste of Fort Worth was last night. Huge selection of wines, but I’m just highlighting my favorites.
One of the more smooth/silky wines from start to finish I’ve had in some time. Mainly cab Sauv/Cab Franc (love these types of blends). Extremely dark in the glass. Fragrant nose of blueberries and toasted oak. Very clean and pure tasting...currant, plum, cassis, blueberries, chocolate covered dates. Acidity and tannic structure (semi lack-there-of) make me wonder how long it will last, but I’d be drinking these now anyways.
