Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a rich, expressive, and elegantly structured red wine that beautifully captures the distinct character of Sonoma County's rugged, rocky terroir. Sourced from the historic estate vineyards that Beringer pioneered in the mid-1960s, this vintage is crafted in the style of a classic Bordeaux blend, offering both immediate approachability and excellent cellaring potential. In the glass, it presents a deep crimson-ruby color. The aromatic profile opens with a perfumed and complex bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, boysenberries, and dark plum, beautifully lifted by traditional Knights Valley nuances of wild sage, fresh thyme, and lavender, along with hints of dark chocolate, mocha, and toasty cedar oak spice. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, balanced, and remarkably plush. It delivers a savory, fruit-forward core of raspberry coulis, black cherry, and red licorice, framed by fine-grained, chewy tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries through to a long, smooth, and satisfying finish.

Food Pairing:

Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, rosemary-roasted prime rib, venison stew, wild mushroom risotto, and mature, sharp cheddar cheeses.
