2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley 1.5L
1 In Stock
Winemaking Notes
Our 2016 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is deeply colored and bursting with aromas of crushed blackberries, spicy dark plum, dusty cocoa powder, cassis and wild raspberry. The complex layers of spice, red fruit and chocolate on the palate are framed in rich, velvety tannins with a long lingering finish. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon now with braised short ribs, beef ravioli lamb shanks, or cellar it to enjoy over the next 3 to 5 years.
Vineyard Notes
The 2016 growing season was about as close to ideal as we could've asked for. We received an average amount of rain over winter, with only one big storm in early March that topped off soil moisture. Spring was pleasant, so the vines got off to a great start. Average temperatures continued through summer with the occasional heat spikes that Cabernet Sauvignon seems to love. Warm temperatures continued through the fall which meant harvest started about a week earlier than normal, kicking off around mid-September through October 8 under ideal conditions.
