Dear %%FIRST%%,
With Spring finally upon us, as the rains reiterate, the pace of activity in the vineyard has quickened. So too has grown our excitement for the annual unveiling of a new vintage of Andreas. This time, the 2008.
Oh La Vache!
Last year's release presented a tough act to follow, but this iteration of our 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is showing an intense complexity and depth that evokes similar thoughts of wonder. Bottled in March of last year, less than 175 cases were produced of this extraordinary wine. You won't want to miss out!
Now through April 15th, all orders will receive free ground shipping. And, as always, Koning Club members receive a discount, among other benefits.
2008 Andreas Tasting Notes
Intensity of color pigmentation adds to the overall experience of this deep, concentrated wine. Swirl the glass and notice the different hints of deep purple, black, and red color. It screams “Oh La Vache!”. Then, as the flavors pour out of the glass and tickle your nose with aromas of blackberries, licorice, and delicate oak spice, your mind tells you “No spitting on this one!”. The mouthfeel is next, but certainly not least! It provides a sensation of weight, yet with the subtleties of a Dutchman and the liveliness of a Den Hoed. From the beginning, this wine shows good integrity and balance between the tannin structure, acidity and alcohol. Flavors of dark cherries combined with hints of earthiness lead the finish into a long and vibrant journey that calls for one more swallow. And one more… until the bottle’s gone. A wine to share at your own risk!
