well-draining clay-limestone soil

with layers of blue and purple fruit

It was created for cooler California climates and offered a wine grape that was lower in acid and more pleasing to the current American wine consumer at the time

the whole clusters go through a semi-carbonic maceration and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and without sulfur in vat

2021 Kongsgaard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA Strohmeier well-draining clay-limestone soilOur Cabernet vineyard around the winery at 2,300 above Napa on the eastern rim of the Valley has both the power and grace we 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. John Kongsgaard
