The fruit is night-picked from our estate vineyards and aged in new French oak barrels. Aromas of  red and black fruit, a hint of raspberry, tobacco leaf, and green and black tea leaf. Flavors of blackberry and a touch of menthol open up to layers of fresh baked chocolate tart, with a finish of macadamia nut, and silky yet restrained tannins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Generations Napa Red is an elegant, medium-bodied wine laced with fragrant notes of spearmint, sage and cassis, alongside crunchy red fruit such as dried strawberries and mulberries. Violets and rose petals add floral intrigue, while the lithe, featherweight tannins are framed by a firm spine of acidity, giving the wine poise and lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Decanter, 94 pts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWow, so silky and supple in texture and flush with fruit and subtle spices.

Bold and explosive, the 2021 is impressive right out of the gate. I especially admire its vertical build and persistence. Red flowers, cherry, mint, white pepper and iron are some of the many notes that build with a little coaxing. The 2021 is opulent yet finessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Vinous, 94 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Loamy earth and black cherries appear on the nose of Charles Krug's 2021 Family Reserve Generations Red Wine, a Cabernet-led blend of Bordeaux-derived grape varieties. Underscored by hints of cedar and vanilla-tinged oak, it's full-bodied and impressively supple, with a ripe, velvety mouthfeel and a lingering finish. It represents a solid value in the realm of Napa Valley red wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInky hued with serious aromatics of currants, plums, scorched earth, lead pencil, and flowers, the 2021 Family Reserve Generations is a gorgeous wine based on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Merlot, aged 20-21 months in French oak. It's medium to full-bodied with a ripe, concentrated mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish. This beauty will keep in cold cellars for 10-15 years.
