Winemaker Notes:
Our 2016 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is bold with black forest fruit and anise, offering undertones of violet and clove. Cocoa powder comes through on the palate accompanied by broad tannins and a rich and persistent finish.
 
Critical Acclaim:
94-Vinous
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Crown is a bold, powerful wine. Ample and broad, with tremendous depth, the 2016 is complex, nuanced and potent. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, chocolate and dark spice infuse the 2016 with tons of character. Dark and brooding, the 2016 will be even better in another few years' time. Drinking window: 2020 - 2036
 
92-Wine Enthusiast
With smooth, rounded edges of dark cherry, black currant and dried herb, this is a well-made and nicely structured wine with a strong tannin profile and integrated use of oak. Robust in clove, black pepper and a pinch of tobacco, it finishes with length.
 
91-Jeb Dunnuck
Similarly colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley is a bigger, richer wine loaded with notions of chocolatey dark fruits, notes of loamy earth and cedar, medium to full body, and a charming, delicious, mouthfilling style. It's another outstanding wine from this team that has loads to love.
