About the Beringer Knights Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The 2021 Knights Valley Reserve Cabernet is exemplary of this unique appellation, brimming with structure and elegance, accompanied by a pronounced, loamy minerality. The expressive nose and palate reveal ripe black cherry, black plum and blackberry notes, supported by spiced notes of vanilla bean, clove and cocoa nib from the well-integrated oak aging. Medium to full bodied with a plush texture that is saturated and savory, the wine exhibits a fine-grained, velvety mouthfeel with polished tannins, leading to a lengthy concentrated finish with black currant, lavender, wild sage, and thyme. Beautifully drinking upon release, but certain to age gracefully for many years to come.

97 Points - James Suckling

Lots of dark fruits with violets and peppery greens followed by cigar box, forest floor and graphite with cedar and dark chocolates. Wonderfully structured full-bodied wine. Very focused and concentrated with serious depth and length. Artful savory complexity to it. A blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc, 4% petit verdot, 4% merlot and 2% malbec. Released in spring 2024. It already has a nice drinkability but will age gracefully. Drink or hold.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This complex Cabernet displays an impressive array of spice and mineral notes on the nose. The palate is loaded with plum, currant, licorice, graphite and tobacco flavors in a framework of supple tannin and balancing acidity. A little time in the cellar will soften this beautifully.

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Selected from several stonier, less vigorous vineyard blocks, Beringer's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Knights Valley is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% each Merlot and Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. Black cherries lead the way, joined by a slightly lavender-like, thyme-like scent on the nose. It's full-bodied—weighing in at 15.4% alcohol—but concentrated and open-knit, with soft tannins framing the long finish.

89 Points - Wine Spectator

A polished, friendly style, with a core of mulberry and boysenberry compote backed by the juicy, licorice-framed finish. Drink now through 2026.
