This Knights Valley Cabernet is from Chateau St Jean's high elevation vineyards with rocky, well-draining soils. This warmer growing appellation is ideal for Bordeaux varieties and lend to wines known for their structure. Two primary vineyards make up this blend, lying between 500-1,400 feet in elevation, with a combination of soils from cobbly clay and sandy loam to ancient, weathered sandstone. These 30 year-old vines are planted on ridges of steep and rugged terrain flanked by ravines. The grapes tend to ripen later in the season, giving a long-hang time with balanced, ripe fruit and well-integrated tannins.
This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas or rich plum, cassis, dark toffee, nutmeg and cedar. Bold, full and round, the palate bursts with black cherry cobbler, cocoa nibs, fresh leather with a hint of anise. This wine is refined and age-worthy.
