Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a full-bodied red wine from Sonoma County, California, known for its rich flavors and structured tannins. The 2021 vintage offers aromas of red cherry, ripe plum, and cassis, complemented by floral notes of cherry blossom and lavender. On the palate, it presents flavors of blackcurrant, boysenberry, and dark chocolate, with earthy undertones of chaparral sage, potpourri, and leather. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, imparting subtle hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and almond husk. With its firm tannins and bright acidity, this Cabernet Sauvignon is built to age gracefully, developing further complexity over time.

It has received accolades from critics, including a 94-point rating from James Suckling, who described it as "full-bodied, firm and juicy tannins with good acidity backbone" and noted its "terrific quality".
