This is a very fancy barrel room at Krupp Brothers, in Napa Valley. At Krupp, they typically barrel age their Cabernets for 18-24 months in new French oak to soften the tannins and enhance the complexity of the wine. The best winemakers know how to use oak as a subtle tool, too much and the wine is ruined. This is the stage when flavors like delicious vanilla, carmel and spice get integrated into the characteristics of the fruit. I can relate- sugar and spice and everything nice π
