2016 Kongsgaard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 96+

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a huge, brooding wine. Massively structured and tannic, the 2016 is going to need many years to come into its own. Today, it is a mere infant. Black cherry, scorched earth, chocolate, tar, graphite, grilled herbs and smoke, along with the wine’s sheer heft, add to an impression of gravitas. [Antonio Galloni, 14/12/2018]

Anticipated maturity: 2022-2036

Blended of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with exuberant chocolate-covered cherries, warm plums and cassis with touches of tilled soil, lavender, pencil shavings and tobacco plus a waft of cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has firm, wonderfully fine-grained tannins and layers of black and blue fruits, finishing long and earthy. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 07/12/2018]
