| 2008 Super Sonoman Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley Knights Valley WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 15.2% Price at time of purchase: $45.00 (Vinoteca, Santa Rosa) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): 100% Cabernet Sauvignon This is a seriously beefy, unapologetic California Cabernet. Opaque inky purple in color. Intense nose highlighted by creme de cassis, blackberries, pastry, and spicy, smokey oak. (It was aged in 100% new oak.) Full and rich in the mouth with plenty of flavor to dominate the alcohol. Lots of tannin, but on the round side; mouth-coating texture. Long finish brings out the berry and smoke elements. Big, juicy, Cab that's really fun wine to drink. - HK 2014-11-30 [Back] |
