Knight’s Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The Knights Valley Cabernet is from our high elevation vineyards with rocky, well-draining soils. This warmer growing appellation is ideal for Bordeaux varieties and lend to wines known for their structure. Two primary vineyards make up this blend, lying between 500-1,400 feet in elevation, with a combination of soils from cobbly clay and sandy loam to ancient, weathered sandstone. These 30 year-old vines are planted on ridges of steep and rugged terrain flanked by ravines. The grapes tend to ripen later in the season, giving a long-hang time with balanced, ripe fruit and well-integrated tannins.
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerhouse wine. It opens with bold black cherry, black currant, and dark chocolate aromas. The palate offers abundant dark brambly fruit flavors - blackberry, blueberry, cocoa, and spice. Velvety tannins carry this wine through the long, elegant finish. Enjoy paired with bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese, lamb chops with garlic and herbs, or a variety of hearty meat dishes.
