2022 Anakota Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

So pure, fruity and appealing due to the ripe, welcoming flavors and fine-grained texture that's soothing on the palate. Black cherries, blackberries, dried blueberries and dark chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, rich in velvety tannins, leading to a lingering finish.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley was blended with 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot and matured for 12 months in 25% new French oak. It bursts from the glass with pure aromas of cassis, violet, pencil shavings, garrigue and well-integrated new-oak spice. The full-bodied palate features concentrated, enveloping flavors. It’s framed by abundant, grainy tannins and juicy acidity and has a long, floral finish. It will benefit from some time in a decanter.
