One of Sonoma's most prized terroirs for Cabernet
The 2017 Knights Valley is powerful, dense and wonderfully rich, with tons of the savory and mineral inflections that make Knights Valley Cabernets so alluring. Graphite, game, menthol, licorice and red fruit are front and center.
Initially, a very good mouthfeel of alcohol and softness. This is followed by an increasing bitterness, partially from the hop, but also from the roasted malt and chocolate malt. Towards the end a nice balance between bitterness, sour and sweet.
Chestnut amber with a fine, white, creamy and lacing foam. Complex aromas of caramel malt, fruit, spices and alcohol sweetness. On the palate, alcohol warmth, with baking spice, and subtle bitterness. Clearance $10.99 Was $25.99
