Join Peter Mondavi Jr. as he traces the evolution of Charles Krug-Peter Mondavi Family wines and Napa Valley cabernet sauvignons through this compelling vertical tasting of the winery’s Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon.

Founded in 1861, Charles Krug Winery was Napa Valley’s first winery and has been in the Peter Mondavi Family since 1943. The Vintage Selection cabernets sauvignon is the winery’s flagship wine, crafted since 1944, but made only in years when conditions are optimum. These cabernet sauvignons epitomize the family’s dedication to quality and have been described as “beautiful, alluring wines marked by elegance.”

This very special wine experience features 6 Charles Krug—Peter Mondavi Family Vintage Selection bottlings, including examples from the library. Thei wines will be:

1980 VS Cabernet Sauvignon
1983 VS Cabernet Sauvignon
1995 VS Cabernet Sauvignon
1998 VS Cabernet Sauvignon
2001 VS Cabernet Sauvignon
2004 VS Cabernet Sauvignon
2006 VS Cabernet Sauvignon

As you taste through the wines, Mr. Mondavi will discuss how his family's sustainable vineyard practices, improved winemaking techniques, public demand and other factors have all helped shape this special wine over the last 60 years.
