Tasting Notes

This wine opens with aromas of blueberry, chocolate and a touch of cardamom, all culminating in delicate violet scents. On the palate, The Water Witch greets with a bright entry transitioning to a medium body supported by elegant tannins. An initial burst of blueberry leads to a chocolatey mid-palate, concluding with a hint of black pepper on the finish. Pair with lasagna, or roasted garlic and caper branzino with roasted potatoes and cippolini onions. Drink now through 2037.

About the Winery

Krupp Bothers winery is the dream of two brothers who nurtured a passion for wine over decades. After setting down roots in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jan - an internist with a private medical practice - pursued his winemaking as a hobby for 15 years. While continuing to commute to his medical practice, Jan moved to Napa in 1991 and began to tend grapes – first planting a vineyard surrounding his family's house and then with the help of Bart, he would develop what would become one of Napa's most iconic vineyards, Stagecoach.

In 1999, Jan and Bart founded Krupp Brothers, producing their first vintage: An extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon. Their wines begin at the source – fruit from select blocks that have been carefully chosen by Jan. Today, each wine in their collection – from the mountain Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignons to the Rhone-style Syrah and Tempranillo-based red – embody the vision and passion that has guided the two brothers. They invite you to try them.
