Deep ruby color. Aromas of black and blue fruit, leather, peppermint and earth. Stunning wine! Sweet toffee, caramel, blueberry and herbs on the palate.

An “intermezzo” as we prepared for the reds flights. This was served blind. The 1978 shows really young for its age. Most at the table, including myself, were convinced that this was classified growth Bordeaux with maybe 20-30 years of age. However at least one of us thought it was Napa…and whoa. The color was dark and handsome though there was some sediment (to expected). The fruit was bright but I felt it was secondary to the dried leaf tobacco, earth and leather notes. There was good acid too. Tannins have integrated. Lots of wows when this was revealed while the Napa holdouts gave a smile. Bravo. This could easily live well for another 10 or so years. — 2 years ago

This was an easy drinking little gem that we enjoyed over a few hours. Dark red and looking luscious, it’s aromas came streaming out in a harmonious orchestra of manly musks: smoky leather, dark cherry, and soft floral arrangements. Handsome. Drinking offers other pleasures like earthy minerality and spiced plum pie. — 3 years ago

Deep dark ruby color. Aromas of chocolate cherries, mint, vanilla and baking spices. Cocoa, vanilla and blueberry on the palate. What a wine!

Beautiful and very well rounded. Less sweet than I usually like but still so tasty. Very full on the nose- hints of flush red fruit. Nice acidity and tannin balance. — 7 months ago

Weighty with a handsome perfume. Dense and inward. All the fruit is mature here but it has great length. This was a 375mL and it was consumed over 2.5 hours. It continued to open and needed a minimum of 30 minutes to start. Tons of sediment. All in all it was exactly what I expected and hoped. — a year ago

2018 vintage. Smoother and less chunky than expected for Knights Valley. Medium/medium heavy body. Both finesse and power within. 5.17.23. — 2 years ago
