Knights Valley is one of the most remote AVAs in Sonoma County, bordering Napa Valley to the east and Alexander Valley to the northwest. Protected by ocean influences, this region experiences a moderated climate, offering a longer and later growing season that develops more dark fruit aromatics. Very fine textured soils allow for great drainage even at lower elevations, producing small berries that deliver powerful tannins and densely structured wines.
Our 2019 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is bold with black forest fruit, fresh plum and anise, nuanced with violet, pine resin, sage, notes of crème brûlée and clove. Densely concentrated and intensely flavorful on the palate with dark fruits such as black berry, graphite and cocoa nibs.

Pouring a deep red, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley includes a small addition of 2% Malbec and offers aromas of cassis, roses, leather, and cedar. Full-bodied, with a wonderfully detailed and refined structure, it has fresh acidity, with wild black cherry, and great purity for the entry to the range. I love the freshness and ripe structure this has to offer along with its well-balanced oak spice. Drink 2025-2032.
