Kongsgaard's Cabernet vineyard around the winery at 2,300’ above Napa on the eastern rim of the Valley has both the power and grace they look for in this Bordeaux-inspired wine. 25% Merlot adds suppleness to the wine. Look for the graphite and cedar aromas and enjoy the architecture which balances fruit and tannin.
|Tasting Notes|
This wine presents a fascinating bouquet, where the typical pine scent is less pronounced, giving way to intriguing notes of cloth, forest, mushrooms, and other fungi. Baking spices add a warm complexity to the overall dark and earthy profile, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a funky Halloween vibe. The plethora of aromas invites different interpretations, making it a truly special and interesting experience. The tannins are a standout feature; they are not piercing but rather chewy, gently coating the mouth and lingering gracefully. Kongsgaard has mastered this sensation, offering a wine that is rich, layered, and memorable.
