Beringer Vineyards
Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Alive and kicking. 25 years old and really not showing it. These 90s Napa Cabernets are really impressing me. This one seemed to have a nose of jasmine and blackberry and a little bit spicy. Entry was mature ripe blackberry, black cherry. The middle started to have a little bit of olive and green pepper showing up with some truffles. The finish was very soft, tannins just about gone. Really neat bottle, surprise pull from Dan! I think this one is beyond peak, headed down the backside of the hill slowly, but probably a solid 5 years left. If you have any of these, pop and enjoy them because this was a treat!
