Up, way up in the Eastern hills of Napa Valley - a colossal 700 planted-acres of vines - lies Dr. Krupp’s Stagecoach Vineyards, an elysian field of Napa legend. In 2009, when I was consulting for the good doctor he gestured across the entire spread and told me to choose any block I wanted for Pott wine. I didn’t hesitate; “M5, M6.” There was a strangled silence, but it was too late and he is too much of a gentleman. I seized the crown. Is this what gives Her Majesty’s Secret Service its aristocratic structure and soft, royal, velvety tannins? For me the wines are very Pauillac in feel – great black fruits, cassis and blackberry, combined with spice, cedar and tobacco with a kiss of truffle.
