The 2018 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.

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.

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.

The 2011 vintage produced beautifully balanced, concentrated fruit and our Cabernet Sauvignons are textbook expressions of both the varietal and our Knights Valley terroir. We have opened our cellar to share three library wines from this memorable vintage that will drink beautifully at present or continue to age gracefully in the decade to come.
