Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThis is one of six notes written during a Late September vertical of Beringer’s Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from 2009-2014. Beringer has been harvesting grapes from Knights Valley vineyards since the mid-1960’s. The narrow valley is almost a bridge AVA between Napa and Sonoma famous for its cobbled alluvial soils. The Knights Valley designation first appeared on a Beringer label in 1974 and the company was instrumental in garnering official recognition for the area in 1983 when it was designated an American Viticulture Area (AVA). Attractive, enticing, easy drinking at an earlier stage all describes the Knights Valley style. A rich mix of blueberries and blackberries with cherry cola before a leaner, resiny, mineral, savoury, tea character takes over in the finish. Still youthful and frankly a bit angular, this will be worth waiting for up to 2020. A remarkable effort for a wine that is at the 80,000 - 100,000 case count these days.Tasted: 22 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $45.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
