Description
Perched 500 feet above sea level, at the nexus of Alexander Valley, Chalk Hill and Knights Valley AVAs, Knights Crown offers an extraordinary vista of the valleys below. Planted in 1995, this 12.7-acre vineyard is accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicles. Trips up the mountain are often interrupted by longhorn bulls that stand like surly crossing guards as calves trot from one side of the gully to the other.

This southwest-facing vineyard site yields Cabernet Sauvignon with a ruby purple hue and an exotic, vibrantly fruit-forward style. Very singular in expression, it also displays the classic Knights Valley aromas of fleshy plum, cassis and Mission fig. This wine is intensely bold and rich in structure, refined by 32 months in barrel. Flavors of black cherry and cocoa nibs linger, leaving your palate begging for one more sip.
