Hand selected from the best rows in the vineyards, and then meticulously crafted and aged in the finest oak, Krupp represents the pinnacle of our winemaking efforts at Krupp Brothers.
An unconventional blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Merlot, “The Doctor” pays tribute to both Dr. Jan Krupp’s 30 years in internal medicine and to the medical profession in general. “The Advocate” blends top lots of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Merlot from the Stagecoach Vineyard. Two more unique wines are bottled under the Joshua label: a Syrah and a Super Tuscan–style red.
The most prized release from the winery each year is our Krupp Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon. Selected from an exceptional block at Stagecoach Vineyard, it represents the finest offerings of our mountain vineyards. As a complement to this structured Cabernet, we recently released a stunning Merlot, sourced from a Merlot block in the rockiest area of Stagecoach Vineyard.
Deep purple/magenta hues; Bright, fruit driven aromas of cranberry, raspberry, dark cherry and plum are intermingled with tobacco, spice and rhubarb yielding an inviting and complex nose. The palate is beautifully focused and polished. Raspberries, violets, lavender and cranberries give way to fine dusty tannins that frame the mouth perfectly. Serve with Duck confit and cherry glaze or hard cheeses such as Asiago, Parmesan and Romano. Enjoy now through 2015.
Deep Garnet in color with a purple rim. Exotic aromas of Satsuma plums, spice, orange rind, cassis, black raspberries and Logan berries harmonizing with anise, cloves and vanilla. The palate is fresh and lively with focused intensity. Flavors of jasmine, lavender, black cherries and pomegranate contribute to a deliciously bright mid-palate with cedary oak leading to a long savory finish. Excellent with Pasta Bolognese and braised ox-tail. Enjoy now through 2014.
