Krutz Family, Sauvignon Blanc, Beckstoffer-Melrose Vineyard, Napa Valley, 2021

Featured in our event - Sauvignon Blancs of the World

Overview of the Wine
Krutz Family Cellars was founded in summer of 2003 in Monterey County when Patrick Krutz produced sixty cases of wine. The idea was to purchase a ton of grapes a year in order to produce a small amount of wine for family and friends. However, demand soon changed that plan and Krutz Family Cellars continues to grow in an effort to supply that demand. In 2011 Bryan and Cole Krutz joined their brother Patrick as owners and Krutz Family Cellars is now a family owned winery located in Sonoma County.

Since 2003, Krutz Family Cellars has included a Magnolia flower on each bottle of wine that it has produced. The Magnolia, the state flower and tree of Mississippi, is a symbol of our southern roots. It not only represents where we are from, but also our way of life- true, honest, and fun.

Winemaker Tasting Notes
Our 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is a beautiful representation of an old-vine Sauvignon Blanc from Rutherford, where the “dust” isn’t just for reds. The wine has a bright acidity with layered stone fruit, particularly peach, and lemon tart with a subtle vanilla influence from the barrels. This is the first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc that we put through secondary fermentation.

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
I loved the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard, a bright, citrus, grapefruit, and reductive, grassy Sauvignon Blanc that's medium-bodied, balanced, and textured, with a clean, dry finish. Drink bottles over the coming year or three.
