Wine Review: This slightly opaque and deep purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Arrowood opens with a spiced plum and black cherry bouquet with hints of clove. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium acidity. The flavor profile is a black currant and plum blend with notes of oak and minerality. I also detected hints of craisin and cinnamon spice. The finish is dry and its flavors and gentle fine tannins drift away nicely. This Cab would pair well with beef tenderloin and a red wine shiitake sauce on a baguette. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 2018 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is bold with black forest fruit and anise, nuanced with violet, pine resin, sage, and nutmeg. Densely concentrated and intensely flavorful on the palate with dark fruits, graphite, and cocoa nibs.
