Lot #817. Kongsgaard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 93 ST.
"(100% cabernet sauvignon): Bright, full ruby-red. Black cherry, plum and musky oak on the nose; less minerally than the 2009. Sweet, plummy and rather easygoing, but with sappy acidity giving shape to the middle palate and perfume to the very long finish. Tannins are perfectly buffered by the wine's fruit, giving this wine strong early appeal. Kongsgaard keeps his cabernets on their skins for five or six weeks, with the temperature kept from exceeding 82 degrees, "in order to make wines with energy, and with tannins that are plush but not aggressive."" Vinous, May 2011
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $250
