2019 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley Vineyard

Saturated, lavish and concentrated, this full-bodied and richly tannic wine offers generous black fruit, cinnamon, chocolate and mint flavors on a velvety texture that feels gentle at first sip but has plenty of spine for further aging. Best from 2027–2037.

“This is really focused, with brightness to the sweet tobacco and berries. Medium-bodied with bright acidity, finesse and drinkability. Very fine. Ripe-currant center-palate. 87% cabernet sauvignon, 8% merlot, 2% cabernet franc, 2% malbec and 1% petit verdot. Drink or hold.”
