An interesting effort, the 2007 Synchrony (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) comes from red aiken soils. It offers up notes of menthol, earth, sweet blueberries and red currants in its elegant, restrained, attractive personality. Slightly understated but graceful, it is best consumed over the next 7-8 years. Krupp Brothers is a winemaking entity from the enormous Stagecoach Vineyard (over 1,000 acres) in the eastern hillsides of Napa Valley. Much of the fruit is sold to other wineries, but after hiring consulting winemaker Aaron Pott, they began to estate bottle in 2008. The wines are attractively packaged in heavy bottles and appear to be taking on more finesse, especially the 2009s. The real stars of this portfolio appear to be the 2009s, a vintage when consultant Aaron Pott had full control.Tel. (707) 226-2215; Fax (707) 259-4512
