Drawing complexity from a range of clones, soil types, and exposures, the layered aromas and flavors show generous blueberry and mulberry with lifted notes of Sumatran coffee and a hint of fresh lavender, all in perfect proportion with subtle finesse and fine texture. Drink now - 2038.

A gorgeous bouquet of rich black cherry, baking spice, and currant interspersed with flavors of bitter-sweet chocolate, cedar, tobacco and sweet Madagascar vanilla.

Our 2006 Estate Cabernet is classic Knights Valley in flavor and aroma profile. Selected from three specific blocks on our hillside vineyard, this mouth-filling wine shows a cedar nose, dark fruit, and bright acid.

Exotic dark spice and chocolate flavors are reminiscent of the finest cacao mixed with distant Asian spice. Much as early explorers traveled the world for new and exotic spices, this Cabernet provides an otherworldly sensory experience.

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.
