Like the sophisticated gentleman bandit of the late 1800s who crisscrossed Northern California robbing stagecoaches, Black Bart serves as the Krupp Brothers' label for its wild-yet-sophisticated Rhone-varietal wines. Wines include two Syrahs, Marsanne, a whie blend called Black Bart's Bride, and in select years a Syrah Port.
Marsanne from Stagecoach has been an exceptional component of Black Bart’s Bride contributing minerality and a honey-peach viscosity. On its own, our 2005 Marsanne demonstrates brilliant pale straw gold color. Its aroma is dominated by a terroir driven minerality complemented by peach blossoms, honeysuckle and jasmine. On the palate this is a full bodied white with a wonderful honey fl avored viscosity, complimented by peaches, apricots, and almonds leading to a long steely fi nish. Serve with Scallops in Tarragon butter, Roast Pork Loin, and cheese souffl é. Enjoy now through 2010.
A brilliant crimson red color. Aromas of mocha, black raspberries and pepper that lead to a full-flavored palate of currants, blackberries, pepper and spice closing with a long, memorable finish. Serve with Kona crusted dry aged sirloin with caramelized shallot butter. Drink now through 2016.
A rich reddish black hue gives way to aromas of violets, boysenberries, vanilla and cinnamon. The palate transitions to currants, dark cherries, ripe plums and black pepper. Well structured with polished, supple, soft tannins and a long, silky fi nish. Great with Pepper seasoned Porterhouse steak, Peking duck, rack of lamb, or fl ourless chocolate cake with fresh blueberries and cream. Enjoy now through 2016.
Pale straw gold; Aromas of white peaches, dried apricots, almonds, and fresh tangerines, transition smoothly into ripe gooseberries, honeycomb and lemon peel and distinctive minerality; Complex, yet soft tannins and a full mid-palate lead into a seductive fi nish that stretches on.
