The 2019 Christobel is highly scented and lifted with fresh raspberry and red currant followed by herbal notes of sage and lavender that emerge in the glass with aeration. Detailed and precise, this wine offers generous round flavors and exquisite balance while delivering full Cabernet flavor.

Deep aromas of plum, blueberry and espresso bean create a strong first impression with an expansive texture and revealing flavor profile. The exotic flavor mix shows exhilarating notes of sage, kombu, grilled meat and sichuan peppercorn.

The Linville Cabernet Sauvignon represents a wine of singular flavor profile and distinction. Our 2018 vintage is complete and satisfying, beginning with a sweet perfume of plum, cedar, and freshly shaved chocolate.

Indelible characteristics of pure cassis, damson plum, and crystalized violet. During aging, this classic Cabernet takes on French oak allowing secondary notes of blonde Virginia tobacco, vanilla bean, Giandjua chocolate, and Indonesian coffee to emerge.

Aromas of cassis, blackberry and forest floor are nicely framed by French oak notes of cedar and vanilla with an inner core of ripe fruit that will develop beautifully in this expansive wine.

To Kalon Cabernets are legendary. The 2012 Knights Bridge bottling from this vineyard expresses aromatic impressions of dark red fruits, toffee, leather and floral notes. A rich entry in the mouth with a long finish of vanilla, cassis and sweet oak extend the lingering character of the varietal.

Many savory dishes would pair well with this exuberant wine such as French-cut pork chops with fresh herbs.

Our 2013 Knights Bridge To Kalon fills the senses with notes of baking spices, dried cherry and red currant, cocoa powder, violets and cedar.The wine expands on the palate with great middle-mouth richness typical of Napa Valley fruit with lingering notes of sweet dark fruits, coffee, and hints of spice.

This big wine pairs nicely with espresso braised short ribs atop a bed of polenta, or a hearty portobello mushroom and Gorgonzola risotto.
