It's a beautiful, golden wine, which smells abundantly of flowers and citrus, with a smattering of apricot thrown into the nose. It's the apricot that comes on strongest on the palate, with a strong helping hand from the lemon, lime and orange notes. The taste is fairly sweet and creamy, although the acidity is lively. This wine will pair well with salads of all sorts - especially savory ones - and light chicken or fish dishes. — 2 years ago

Refreshing. Kind of mineral. Passion and citric fruits. Excellent for the price. — a month ago

This is the “Jardin de Tru” made of mostly Malbec with Merlot and Syrah. Second time tasting this Valle de Guadalupe blend.
More savory than I recall, reads Syrah. Round, smoky, and Mediterranean (olive?) Kind of brooding.

Incredibly interesting and worth the exploration. Don’t know how it reads so layered and concentrated as it is at only 11.9% abv. Too expensive, but very cool. — 6 months ago

The wine certainly tastes special, with pure fruit expressions of blueberry, currant and plums on the nose and palate. There is a sense of white pepper and sweet oak, but just a touch - they let the fruit do the talking here. Tannins are gentle, but firm, and the finish takes a long time to wave the checkered flag. — 2 years ago

Cor vermelha com um tom já começando a ficar adobe. Demonstra corpo na taça com lagrimas lentas. O aroma é envelhecido, considerando ser um vinho de dez anos, bem ainda. Sente-se notas de álcool discretamente, couro e madeira. Na boca tem uma maciez surpreendente, tins alcoólicos e leve taninos, corpo, e harmonia e sabores de fundo que lembra chocolate. — a year ago

Best rose I've ever had. Not sour. Like an after dinner wine. Almost like a red — 2 years ago

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one from Knights Valley.

Pretty color of dark ruby with a brick rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, cooked cherries, black plums, figs, raisins, vanilla, cedar, cola, Indian spices, earth, chocolates, black pepper, pencil lead, turmeric, cumin and tobacco.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, light herbs, cola, turmeric, graphite, dark coffee and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, spices and cherries.

This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County. Showing great complexity and a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced with a long, smooth finish.

Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 3 hours of airtime, when the complexity shows up. Worth the wait.

Loved the nose, and kept smelling on it for a while. Tastes very much like a Napa Cabernet.

This Single Vineyard from the great 2014 vintage is rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward, deep and smooth. Tasty and delicious. Alcohol is nicely integrated by now.

Thank you David for sharing this with me.

A great sipping wine that doesn't need food at all. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Aged for 30 months in 90% new French oak barrels.

15.4% alcohol by volume.

94 points.
