This captivating Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a rich plum hue and a refined Bordeaux-varietal blend, featuring delicate, sandy tannins and a velvety, plush texture. Designed for aging to gain complexity, it currently offers ripe, juicy notes of boysenberry, strawberry preserves, and cassis, complemented by earthy tones of crushed stone, iron, Bay Laurel, and cedar. The subtle baking spices from well-integrated oak harmonize with classic Knights Valley hints of wild lavender and bittersweet chocolate. Elegant and lively, it boasts structured acidity and a long, savory finish that delights the palate.
A mix of red and black fruits with lavender and fresh herbs followed by vanilla, blanched almonds and a hint of black ink and pencil lead. Full-bodied, firm and juicy tannins with good acidity backbone. Sound and harmonious wine with beautiful drinkability. Terrific quality. This needs two or three years to take the edge off it.
This rich and decadent Cabernet displays a complex nose loaded with aromas of spiced plum, dark cocoa, cinnamon and mint. The palate brings concentrated flavors of blackberry, Bing cherry, caramel and chocolate in a framework of powerful tannin and oak.
