Beringer Vineyards
Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Medium-bodied, fruit forward. Tannins were too soft, not really complex enough to add dimension and balance.

Jun 17th, 2024On the nose, this is blackberry, red cherries, red currant... Cocoa powder? On the palate, the blackberry and current is still there, but certainly some herbal notes as well... Green pepper... Dried sage... Medium body and tannins are quite pronounced at this stage... Another couple of years may have been preferred to soften a bit though this may be at the expense of the great currant up front... I feel there's some smokiness in the texture that I like here... The finish is long and makes me think of tree bark... A nice pairing for us tonight with flank steak.
