BERINGER Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Winemaker Notes: This Cabernet is set each vintage as a Bordeaux blend, with soft and silky tannins and a plush, full mouth-feel setting it up for immediate enjoyment, although it’s built to age and develop further complexity. Aromas of dried herbs, cedar, clove and lavender join flavors of dark red fruit led by figs, black cherry, currants, boysenberry, huckleberry, raspberry, and evident oak spice are joined with more traditional Knights Valley tones of black olive, wild sage and mocha chocolate. Fine acidity and balance with an elegant structure lead to a lingering, memorable finish.

Notes of mountain brush and crushed violet integrate with this wines firm structure. Its heady and plush, with chewy tannins and broad shoulders, and theres an elegance to the uplifted and ripe notes of deep, dark boysenberry. Melted dark chocolate is so satisfying on the long finish

93JAMES SUCKLING

Aromas of fresh blackcurrants, dark chocolate, roasted coffee and tobacco. Its medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Fresh and tight with a cool, stony finish.

90JEB DUNNUCK

Lots of creme de cassis and plum-styled fruits emerge from the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley, and it has medium-bodied richness, a charming, elegant texture, classic Cabernet chocolate, leafy herbs, and earthy notes, and a great finish. Its another rock-solid, enjoyable, nicely textured Cabernet thats well worth drinking over the coming 8-10 years.
