WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has spice-driven aromas of cloves, anice and fennel, complemented by notes of dark cherry. The palate holds a fine tannic quality with hints of spice and intense ripe fruit flavors. Following a balanced palate, the finish is long lasting.
TASTING NOTES:
This stunning, plush red with 4% Petite Sirah aged 16 months in French and American oak. Showing a black-carmine hue, it offers up a fragrance of mocha and nutmeg. Teeth-grabbing, chalky tannins surround concentrated notes of blackberry and fennel before espresso takes charge, wrapping around a core of walnut and purple plum. As the wine opens up and softens, it reaches an elegant stage with persistent grip.
