2021 Arrowood Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The 2021 is a vintage that is true to site. This vintage we sourced from higher elevations in the Knights Valley. The nose presents red fruits like rhubarb, baked cherry pie, anise, graphite, and black spices. There is flavorful, juicy core on the palate of darker fruits like black plum, with a polished finish.

TASTING NOTES:

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Crown Vineyard is a saturated inky red color and is compact and deep on the nose, with notes of pencil lead, black cherries, compact currants, and cedar. It was raised for 32 months in 52% new French oak and is full-bodied and compact on the palate, with a lush ripeness, though it has a deep, dark earth-noted feel as well as notes of Puerh and cedar through the finish.

– Jeb Dunnuck, 95 pts.

Vibrant nose with notes of blackcurrants, cassia bark and cloves. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity, showing notes of blackberries, cedar and spices.
